The Central Working Committee for The Future Africa Awards & Summit 
(TFAAS) has today announced its new identity, and also unveiled its new 
logo and web portal.

“The brand has always focused on evolving alongside Young Africa,” said 
Mfon Ekpo, a member of the committee, and Fellow with President Barack 
Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative. “After a year of work with our 
global brand support team, we are excited to unveil this new identity 
which puts the focus on our African reach, and reflects our commitment 
to a bold new vision for the continent’s future.”

The new logo has Africa in its centre, outlined to reflect a guided 
vision. Its strength is in its simplicity and clarity. This simplicity 
is also mirrored in the official web portal 
www.thefutureafrica.com/awards.
The 2014 edition was launched in May during the World Economic Forum on 
Africa; expanded in scope to The Future Africa Awards & Summit, a 2-day 
ideas-fest, where the continent’s most influential leaders and 
institutions with portfolios on youth will gather to chart immediate 
action-points for expansion of jobs and opportunities, as well as good 
governance and citizen engagement.

The committee, in May, also unveiled the ‘Have you met Africa?’ campaign 
with brand ambassadors Ashish J. Thakkar (Rwanda), Omotola 
Jalade-Ekeinde (Nigeria), Chude Jideonwo (Nigeria), Jason Njoku 
(Nigeria) and Saran Kaban Jones (Liberia).
