As part of our ongoing commitment to amplifying African voices in global affairs, Leading Women of Africa (LWA) is launching a new Beyond Boundaries webinar series focused on the G20 Summit 2025, which South Africa will host for the first time in history.
This moment represents more than a diplomatic milestone, it is a defining opportunity for Africa to shape the global agenda. Through this series, we aim to create an inclusive platform where African citizens, scholars, and professionals, those often excluded from formal policymaking spaces, can be heard and documented.
We are inviting experts, thought leaders, and practitioners from across Africa and the diaspora to join our panels and share their insights on how Africa can position itself strategically within a rapidly shifting global order.

Ubuntu Diplomacy in Action: Africa’s Voice at the G20 Table
Why This Series Matters
The G20 is one of the world’s most influential decision-making spaces, representing 80% of global GDP, yet Africa remains underrepresented.
This is our moment to shape the narrative, influence the agenda, and advocate for policies rooted in solidarity, equality, and sustainability.
The insights shared in these webinars will be compiled into a Policy Reflection Brief, to be circulated among decision-makers, partner institutions, and continental networks.
