“At the core of our presidency is how the G20 should collectively respond to create an environment of inclusive economic growth, reduced inequality and sustainable development, especially in the Global South and the African continent”
We have also established three task forces focusing on inclusive economic growth, industrialisation, employ- ment and reduced inequality; food security; and artificial intelligence, data governance and innovation for sustainable development. We are working with the African Union, now a member of the G20, to amplify Africa’s voice in global eco- nomic governance, ensuring that the development priorities of the African continent and the Global South are firmly on the G20 agenda. To translate policy frameworks into impact, South Africa’s presidency is championing an elevated and broad- ened Compact with Africa initiative, driven by the AU’s Agenda 2063. Following Brazil’s example, South Africa will host a G20 Social Summit, expanding outreach beyond the established G20 engagement groups to civil society organisations, think tanks and academia from across the world. The challenges confronting the world can only be resolved through cooperation, collaboration and part- nership. South Africa has sought to play a bridge-building role during its presidency, addressing geopolitical tensions in an effort to reach con- sensus on the G20’s priorities and deliverables. We believe we can deliver a trans- formative G20 presidency and leave a permanent legacy for the African continent, the Global South and the global community of nations.
