Africa @ the G20 episode 4 with Precious Tricia from Akina Mama wa Afrika

In this episode, we sit down with Precious (Abwooli) Tricia, Economic Justice and Climate Action Programme Associate at Akina Mama wa Afrika, for a timely conversation on Africa’s leverage in multilateral platforms.

With South Africa’s G20 Presidency marking the first time the forum is hosted on African soil, we unpack what this moment means for the continent — particularly in relation to climate finance, economic justice, and Africa’s ability to shape global decision-making.

The discussion explores the opportunities and limitations of the G20, what meaningful African participation should look like, and how future presidencies can be leveraged to advance Africa’s climate and development priorities.
