Mounia Boucetta, Senior Fellow at the Policy Center for the New South, is featured as a speaker in the conference “Cape Town Conversation 2023”. This conference is organized by Think20 India, the Observer Research Foundation, and the Mbeki Foundation.

The year 2023 is unique for international cooperation with South Africa holding the BRICS presidency and three developing countries in the G20 Troika – Indonesia (past presidency), India (current presidency), and Brazil (next presidency), with South Africa to follow. A key outcome of India’s Presidency has been the introduction of the African Union as a permanent member of the G20. Now is the time to realize common futures and move beyond the binaries of the North - South and for innovation and Dialogue to flow.

Cape Town Conversations serves as an annual South Africa-based platform that brings together key stakeholders and new voices. It is designed as a common platform where established and emerging actors convene for a global conversation on contemporary issues of global governance —identifying new challenges, ideating possible solutions, and shaping the world order of the future.

The dialogue is organized around six thematic pillars:

  1. Women-led Development
  2. Achieving Just Green Transition
  3. The Development Imperative
  4. Data for Development
  5. Making Multilateralism Deliver
  6. Reclaiming Peace: Building Bridges in a Turbulent World

 

The event is taking place in Cape Town, South Africa.
