Big benefits of this award
In the wake of the phase out of the Multi Fibre Agreement, Africa and African garment manufacture are losing out to competition in other parts of the world. At the same time, Africa is the source of some of the world's most inspiring textiles.
This award will showcases best practice in the fashion industry in relation to sourcing or production in Africa.
