The Onsi Sawiris School of Business at the American University in Cairo was just named the top business school in Africa for the year by Paris-based global higher education ranking agency Eduniversal, the university said in a statement(pdf). The award places the institution among the top 100 business schools worldwide, granting it the Five Palmes of Excellence Emeritus Award.

Eduniversal pointed to the school’s sustained focus on emerging-market challenges and its role in pushing responsible governance, entrepreneurship, and family firm evolution as the reasons for being a “continental benchmark in business education.” The agency also highlighted how the school uses platforms like the AUC Venture Lab to “[operationalize] these concepts into measurable societal outcomes.”
