Concept & Structure Committee
Call for Nominations
Help Shape the Future of The Global Prize
The Global Prize is now assembling the Concept and Structure Committee to help define the foundational framework for this historic initiative. This committee will be pivotal in shaping the vision, structure, and direction of the project. We invite nominations of individuals who demonstrate commitment, experience, and vision for Afro-descendant advancement.

- The general structure and concept of The Global Prize
- The geographic reach and representation of the Prize
- Governance and structural framework
- General provisional work programme
- Operational and implementation guidelines
- Values, principles, and guiding vision
This is the Foundation’s think tank, engaging with stakeholders, and laying the groundwork for the full launch of the project.
