Choiseul Africa Advisory Board
At the beginning of 2023, Institut Choiseul appointed an Advisory Board consisting of twenty eminent African figures from the institutional and private sectors. Through a platform of proposals and regular meetings, this Advisory Board supports Choiseul’s activities in Africa.
The members of the Board assist Choiseul in selecting the laureates of the Choiseul 100 Africa ranking, and in organising high-level events on the continent – including the Choiseul Africa Business Forum, a major annual investment forum.
The Advisory Board is also the jury for the Choiseul Africa Awards, presented each year to African leaders who have made a significant impact on the continent through their outstanding economic and social commitment.
