The G20 and Africa

Africa and the German G20 presidency

The German government has identified deeper cooperation with Africa as one of the top priorities for its G20 presidency. Against this background, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), as the coordinators of the T20 process in 2016/17, together with the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), are hosting the T20 Africa Conference: Building alliances for sustainable development on 1-3 February in Johannesburg, South Africa.

On the occasion of the T20 Africa Conference, Christine Hackenesch and Julia Leininger have published the DIE Current Column The G20 and Africa – an alliance for sustainability? in which they discuss what and how much can be expected from the Africa initiatives of the German G20 presidency.
