German Chancellor Angela Merkel will present the 15th German Africa Award to Dr Francis Appiah, Executive Secretary of National African Peer Review Mechanism Governing Council (NAPRM-GC) next week.
The Award, which would be handed over to Dr Appiah in Berlin, Germany, on October 10, is in recognition of his "enormous efforts towards the success of APRM in Ghana and Africa as a whole," a statement from the NAPRM-GC said in Accra on Wednesday.
The German Africa Foundation has since 1993 presented the German-Africa Award to outstanding African personalities who promote peace, democracy, human rights and social market economies in Africa.
Previous winners of the Award include Yawovi Agboyibor of Togo, Derek Keys and Trevor Manuel both of South Africa and Professor Peter A. Nyong'o of Kenya.
