The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), in collaboration with the University of South Africa (UNISA) and the University of KwaZulu-Natal, will host a G20 Townhall Outreach on 8 October 2025, in Durban.
The event will take place under the theme: Financial Inclusion for Economic Development: Creating Access to Benefit Grassroots Economies.

South Africa's G20 Presidency stands as a vital moment to shape global dialogues and promote economic development. It represents a strategic opportunity to advance change in global governance while working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Financial inclusion is increasingly recognized as a critical element of the global economic system, particularly in relation to poverty eradication, equitable growth and social stability. In a globalized economy, financial inclusion has the potential to reduce inequality, foster resilience and promote sustainable development.
