In the evening, the awards were presented to the winners by the German Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul during the Development Policy Media Prize award ceremony organised by the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) at the historical foyer at the KfW Banking Group in Berlin.
