C20 South Africa

About us

Welcome to C20 South Africa, a proud member of the global Civil 20 (C20) initiative, which serves as a vital platform for civil society engagement with the G20. Established in 2013, C20 advocates for the inclusion of diverse voices in shaping the decisions that affect communities worldwide.

At C20 South Africa, we believe in the power of collective action to drive meaningful change. We work tirelessly to ensure that critical issues—such as climate justice, human rights, gender equality, and equitable access to health and education—are not only acknowledged but prioritized in G20 discussions and decisions.
