About DABRA:
The DABRA recognize journalists and editors who provide high quality coverage of the business environment in Africa. Since the Awards’ inception in 2004, Africa is a different place and is home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies. Against this backdrop, the Awards continue to seek out, recognize and reward excellence in business journalism.
