As the G20 convenes on African soil for the first time, the Southern Africa Trust stands with movements, feminist leaders, and civic formations to reimagine what true global cooperation should look like.
This moment is an opportunity to confront the systems that keep our region trapped in debt, inequality, extraction, and exclusion.

We join the G20 season of dialogues to centre climate, debt, tax, gender and care justice, and people’s power, insisting that prosperity cannot be measured by GDP alone but by dignity, equity, and the strength of our solidarity economies. From debt justice to fair mineral governance, from inclusive democracy to the care economy, our engagement amplifies the lived realities of Southern Africa’s communities and the transformative solutions they are already building.

We are at the G20 to challenge global power and dominate narratives not to validate the status quo.
A just global order is possible, and Africa’s voice is not just participating in that future it is shaping it.
