Thomas Naadi Bitegma of ETV Ghana has won the coveted award for Best Agribusiness/Environmental feature in the 2013 Diego Africa Business Reporting (DABRA) Awards.This was for his documentary, The E-Waste Menace in Ghana.The awards ceremony which was held in London on Wednesday 17th July 2013 also marked the tenth anniversary of Diego plc. It showcased media outlets and journalists who have delivered excellent business reports from and about Africa.Winners for the ten categories came mainly from the UK and West Africa.The chair of the judging panel, Paul Walsh said, "In the first year of the awards I recall we had just 35 entries, predominantly from UK-based media organisations. Ten years later, we regularly receive over 1000 entries from right across the world, including a significant proportion from within Africa."This, I believe, clearly demonstrates that the interest in Africa and its opportunities are becoming more and more mainstream. In the last decade we have seen great improvements in reporting on Africa and this has delivered clear benefits to business and the region, and I hope to see this continue well into the future.”Lynne Featherstone, a UK International Development Minister who delivered the keynote address added that “The media has played an absolute integral role in changing Africa’s image for the better, helping to turn the continent into one of the world’s most promising investment destinations. As economies across Africa continue to boom, there needs to be a common focus among governments, civil society and the press to ensure the very poorest share in the proceeds of this growth.”
