SAIIA's G20 theory of change

This briefing outlines the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) theory of change for its G20-related activities, detailing the pathway from research and capacity-building to the inclusion of African policy inputs in global governance.

• SAIIA's G20 strategy utilizes research, capacity-building interventions, and partnerships to increase the awareness of African policymakers, think tanks, and civil society organizations regarding the G20 process. The goal is to create a unified African voice on policy solutions to global governance challenges, leading to the inclusion of African concerns in the G20 agenda and the T20 Communiqué.
• The program's ultimate impact is to contribute to more inclusive global governance policies within the G20 by incorporating evidence-based inputs from the Global South and specifically the African continent.
• SAIIA's G20 research themes are divided between the Economic Resilience & Inclusion Programme and the Climate Change & Natural Resources Programme. Specific themes include Debt Sustainability, Trade & Investment, Infrastructure Finance, Agriculture, International Financial Architecture Reform, Biodiversity, Blue Economy, Climate Finance, Climate Policy & Diplomacy, and Just Energy Transition.
