The panel of judges will be constituted in line with the requirements of the African Insurance Awards Framework. The list of judges for the 2025 Awards programme is on the panelist page.
The requirements of the Framework are:
Experience: the framework requires judges to be highly distinguished and experienced with extensive knowledge of insurance.
Diversity: the judges will be selected from across the continent.
Independence: the panel will be independent and free from influence of the sponsor of the Awards.
Conflict of Interest: prior knowledge of a nominated candidate or company does not preclude the judge from participating in the process. However, the following may constitute conflict of interest:
For Innovation of the Year and InsurTech of the Year awards: a judge’s direct or indirect control, influence and benefit regarding the product, service or technology at present or in the recent past;
For CEO of the Year and Insurance Company of the Year awards: a judge’s interest in a service, business or organisation of the nominee at present or in the recent past.
Judges are implored to disclose any conflict of interest.
If the conflict of interest is significant, the affected judge shall be precluded from evaluating the nominee concerned and his vote will not be counted. A Committee of judges made up of the Chairman and two other judges appointed by the sponsor shall decide on such a matter.
If the conflict of interest is not significant, judges are expected to be mindful of the inherent bias.
