Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The African Union\u2019s (AU) recent inclusion in the G20 has raised questions about its readiness to represent Africa\u2019s interests and influence global policy on climate change, energy and reform of multilateral bodies.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s agreement on the need for a robust African voice in global economic and political governance, experts question the AU\u2019s ability to reach consensus on the continent\u2019s priorities given the divisions among its member states.<\/p>\n

Who should represent Africa at the G20? Would AU members cede power to the AU Commission to act on their behalf? Could African countries present unified positions at the forum? And what kind of influence can the AU wield there?<\/p>\n

The just-concluded 37th AU summit provided cause for optimism that the organisation can advance Africa\u2019s interests on the international stage, while helping to resolve global problems. The summit outlined its G20 priorities, set the modalities for who would attend and clarified how the AU\u2019s participation would be financed.<\/p>\n

The AU\u2019s six priorities at the G20 over the next three years are: Fast-tracking Agenda 2063, advocating for reform of international financial institutions, enhancing agricultural output, achieving a just energy transition, more trade and investment for the African Continental Free Trade Area\u2019s roll-out, and improving Africa\u2019s credit rating to boost investment in vaccine manufacturing and pandemic response.<\/p>\n

Member states will finance the AU\u2019s participation through the regular AU budget and grants from African financial institutions like the African Development Bank and African Export-Import Bank. For internal preparatory activities, development partners\u2019 funds would also be used.<\/p>\n

The summit confirmed that member states \u2013 represented by the rotating AU Assembly chair \u2013 would lead the AU delegation at the G20, with assistance from the AU Commission. That means Mauritania\u2019s President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani (the 2024 AU Chair) and Moussa Faki Mahamat (AU Commission chair) will head Africa\u2019s delegation to the December 2024 G20 in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

This decision reflects the continued reluctance by AU countries to allow the AU Commission to represent Africa globally. Nevertheless, it presents opportunities for collaboration between the commission and member states, particularly through the G20 Sherpa, who the AU Commission will appoint.<\/p>\n

The choice of the Sherpa and Sous-Sherpa has been contentious. These are two crucial appointments for the G20\u2019s diplomatic machinery, but how they will be selected is unclear. This validates concerns about the AU\u2019s ability to build consensus due to member states\u2019 lack of resources, weak processes and insufficient political will.<\/p>\n

The AU\u2019s G20 membership demands swift, clear positions on issues beyond Africa\u2019s borders. Decision-making in the AU has often been hampered by a lack of agreement on key matters, owing partly to the large number of countries (55) involved. However, this doesn\u2019t diminish the AU\u2019s potential influence.<\/p>\n

Including the AU in the G20 breaks with the club\u2019s central principle \u2013 that members represent the world\u2019s largest economies. Given that Africa accounts for barely 4% of global GDP, will G20 members take its views seriously?<\/p>\n

Off-the-record discussions with European analysts suggest the AU could end up legitimising the Global North\u2019s dominance in economic and financial governance without actually shaping G20 outcomes. To prevent this, the AU must frame its advocacy around Africa\u2019s global interconnectedness. The continent\u2019s development is too consequential for Global North economies not to take the AU seriously. The fear of alternatives to the West looms loudly in the minds of Global North leaders.<\/p>\n

It is also worthwhile asking what \u201cinfluence at the G20\u201d means. Many African leaders underline the importance of representation and visibility at the forum, rather than influence. But visibility should be a means to an end \u2013 not a goal in itself. Experts told ISS Today they believed agenda-setting was possible for the AU.<\/p>\n

African influence can be boosted by carrying into the G20 the Global South\u2019s positions on overcoming exclusionary growth, debt vulnerabilities, climate change adversities and more equitable multilateral bodies. In this way, the AU\u2019s sway would be gradual and pragmatic. This approach won\u2019t necessarily translate into reform of the World Trade Organization, World Bank or International Monetary Fund. For that, the AU would need to seek more accountability for compliance with the G20\u2019s non-binding decisions.<\/p>\n

The AU\u2019s G20 membership could also improve African states and stakeholders\u2019 internal cohesion on global economic and financial governance. With the next two summits in Brazil (December 2024) and South Africa (December 2025), south-south cooperation will probably drive both agendas. Swift action is needed by the AU to prepare for effective participation, such as finalising decisions on Sherpas and Sous-Sherpas, holding pre-summit negotiations, and guaranteeing continuity.<\/p>\n

Partners like the AU Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa\u2019s Development, African Peer Review Mechanism, and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa are useful partners to help develop common African positions. South Africa\u2019s experience as the only African country in the G20 will also be crucial. Conversations are already under way to share experiences and lessons with the AU.<\/p>\n

Despite the G20\u2019s informal format, African states must enable the AU to punch above its (economic) weight at the global forum. This will require committed negotiations to reach agreement on African positions that can be consistently defended by an empowered AU Commission. DM<\/p>\n
