Welcome to African Monarchs
African Monarchs is the official online platform for the African Monarch Global Impact Award (AMGIA). Every year, we bring together respected kings, queens, and traditional rulers from across Africa to honor their roles in preserving culture, resolving conflicts, and driving positive change in their communities.
Held annually in New York City, AMGIA is more than an award — it’s a platform for global recognition and meaningful connection.
“When peace reigns in the kingdom, the people prosper. Our duty as monarchs is to be the first to build bridges, not walls.”
