This conference was held in partnership with Amani Africa and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Held ahead of the G20 meeting in Johannesburg – the first to take place on African soil – the conference examined how Africa can assert greater strategic influence on the global stage. Key questions explored included:
- What approaches should Africa adopt to navigate a rapidly evolving multipolar world and balance relationships with both established and emerging powers?
- How can deeper continental and regional coordination enhance Africa’s collective leverage in global decision-making?
- What strategies can Africa pursue to strengthen economic resilience, promote inclusive growth, and advance its priorities in global economic debates?
- How can Africa strengthen and resource African-led peace and security initiatives to shape global norms and respond effectively to evolving security challenges?
- In what ways can African-led initiatives in climate action and soft power diplomacy bolster Africa’s global influence and deliver meaningful outcomes?
