The Govt of India had assumed the Presidency of the G20 for one year from December 1, 2022, to November 30, 2023. The pinnacle of events is September 9-10, 2023, when the G20 Leaders’ Summit will take place in New Delhi at the level of Heads of State and Government. Engagement Groups, comprising non-government participants from each G20 member, provide recommendations to the G20 Leaders and contribute towards the policy-making process. Amma is Chair of the Civil 20 Engagement Group (C20), and in advance of the summit, C20 will collaborate with hundreds of civil service and non-governmental organizations from around the world to represent the concerns of the common people.
The C20 Summit witnessed the presentation of policy recommendations with a vision for volunteer actions based on compassion as a driving force. The policies developed by C20’s 16 working groups address crucial challenges, including health and wellbeing, women’s empowerment, community resilience in the face of disaster, access to education, water management, representing the voices of people with disabilities, and the positive and negative implications of technology as it rapidly advances. The 16 Working Groups of C20 have proposed various policy recommendations on each thematic area. They have also come up with specific examples of successful work that civil society organizations have already done in each area of focus which could be replicated elsewhere in the world.
