Excerpt: A local Volunteer with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) Alkarim Hirani, had not only come to witness the live telecast coverage of the ceremony, at their Mosque Street community hall, he was part of the committee that helped make this possible in their two mosques within the City area.
He informed the ‘Sunday News’ that the prize money of one million US dollars is shared between winners of the award. “This is an award that appreciates built environment, which are sustainable, as can be seen in past projects, such a market in western Africa.
It is environmentally friendly and helps the people around there to live their life and in no way similar to a museum. The last award ceremony was held in Doha – Qatar,” Hirani said. Apart from this ceremony being broadcast live on CTV, the AKDN members in the country made sure those of the Ismaili community had access in Zanzibar, Arusha, Mwanza and here in Dar es Salaam.
