What Exactly is MERA About

The Middle East Recognition Award (MERA) is a premium pan-African award platform established to honor outstanding Africans whose achievements have transcended borders and industries.

Evolving from the renowned Middle East African Music Awards (MEAMA), MERA expands beyond entertainment to celebrate excellence in business, leadership, culture, innovation, media, and social impact.

MERA unites Africans living in the Middle East, Egypt, and across Africa—while positioning African excellence on a global stage.

Our Vision: To become the leading recognition platform celebrating African excellence and influence in the Middle East.

Our Mission: To honor excellence, inspire unity, and promote African contributions to global culture, economy, and innovation.
