Advocating for a G21

The document advocates for the African Union's membership in the G20, noting that the current structure excludes 96% of Africa's population. It highlights the G20's role in global economic governance and its achievements in tax transparency, food security, debt reduction, and female workforce participation as reasons why the platform's reach should be expanded for ethical reasons.

• The G20 is a powerful multilateral platform that influences global governance on major international economic issues, with specific successes in food security, tax transparency, reducing debt for the world's poorest nations, and increasing female workforce participation.
• A significant limitation of the G20 is that it excludes 96% of the population of Africa, a gap that the author argues can be resolved by admitting the African Union.
