Mister Africa International seeks to find an all-rounder with good looks, physical strength, charisma, charm and a strong personality, who is a representative of African heritage.

The winner will partner with several communities and travel the world promoting youth empowerment through innovation, education and health initiatives.

The reigning Mister Africa International is Calisah Jiwa from Tanzania, who hastravelled to various African countries including Ethiopia, Nigeria and Kenya. He launched his own shoe store called Shoe Plug, which is one of the biggest in East Africa.
