Club de Madrid Contributions to T20 South Africa

Club de Madrid’s Annual Policy Dialogue, held in April 2025 in Kenya, brought together former democratic Presidents and Prime Ministers alongside international experts from the private sector and civil society. This assembly fostered the exchange of experiences and formulated actionable policy recommendations to strengthen democracy globally.

The resulting publications from this event are valuable resources, informing both South Africa’s G20 presidency and the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development.
