Digital Cooperation for Inclusive Development: Brazil–South Africa Synergies in the G20 and the WSIS Framework

Event desciption

As two leading nations of the Global South and members of the G20, Brazil and South Africa play pivotal roles in shaping inclusive global digital policy agendas. In 2024, Brazil chaired the G20, and in 2025, South Africa is in charge of it. This partnership is especially significant in advancing digital inclusion, infrastructure development, and equitable access to ICTs—objectives that resonate with both the G20 Digital Economy Working Group and the WSIS Action Lines.This session explores how cooperation between Brazil and South Africa can drive tangible progress across the WSIS framework while leveraging their positions in the G20 to influence global digital governance.
