PACK
background
The Civil 20 (C20) became an Official Engagement Group of the G20 in 2013.
Since then, the C20 has grown stronger every year, ensuring that world leaders
listen not only to voices representing the government and business sectors, but
also to the proposals and demands of civil society, with the aim of protecting
the environment and promoting social and economic development, human
rights and the principle of leaving no one behind.

As part of the G20 process, CSOs play multiple roles :

ÂÂ THEY PROVIDE EXPERTISE

Civil society groups include some of the world’s leading experts on a wide
range of issues relevant to the G20.

ÂÂ THEY HOLD GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE

Civil society challenges governments to achieve higher standards and holds
them accountable to their own commitments, seeking positive outcomes
for society as a whole and pushing for an effective allocation of resources to
achieve those outcomes.

ÂÂ THEY EXPLAIN COMPLEX ISSUES IN LAY TERMS

Much government policy is too technical or abstract for non-specialists. Civil
society can help citizens understand what these policies mean and how they
will impact their everyday lives.

SOURCE: C20 PRINCIPLES (2019)

ÂÂ THEY PROVIDE BALANCE
One of the greatest weaknesses of the G20 has been its reluctance to grant
civil society the same kind of access it provides to business interests. In a
context in which people around the world believe governments are too close
to business or only act in their own interests, it is vital to involve civil society
to ensure that government decisions reflect the interests of citizens and are
worthy of people’s trust.

ÂÂ THEY COLLABORATE
Besides acting as a watchdog, civil society is the home of innovators and
experts on technology and policy who are able and willing to provide
cutting-edge solutions, innovative ideas and support to G20 governments on
the key issues of our time.

Taking this into account, more than 800 civil society representatives from
all over the world that gathered in Tokyo from April 21st to April 23rd
2019, with the overall goal of preserving and improving the context in
which the C20 carries out its activities, endorse the following C20 Principles.
These principles aim to provide a general framework for all subsequent
engagement by the C20 to ensure the sustainability and increasing impact of
our collective work.

C20
principles
ÂÂ GLOBAL CHARACTER
The C20 is the global space for civil society organizations from all over
the world from international NGOs to grassroots local groups - aiming to
influence the G20.

Any local, regional or international organization (whether from G20 or

non-G20 countries) wishing to discuss major issues in the global agenda and
wanting to have an impact on the G20 is welcome to participate in the C20.
Regional balance should always be ensured.

ÂÂ TRANSPARENCY
All preliminary and working drafts of C20 pronouncements or decisions
should be circulated widely among participating organizations and opened
to comment, and all final documents should be made widely available and
accessible. Information regarding C20 leadership, structure, procedures
and outputs should always be timely, relevant, up-to-date and accurate.
All C20 outputs must be developed through a transparent, inclusive and
participatory process, to provide participating CSOs the opportunity
to collaborate in drafting policy recommendations, including the cover
statement of the C20 Policy Pack.

Once approved, further editing or review of the content of any document

prepared by the C20 Working Groups and/or the C20 Steering Committee
(SC) and International Advisory Committee (IAC) will not be allowed.
Approved documents can only be lightly edited for language clarity and
design purposes. In order to ensure all potential participants know how the
C20 works, this C20 Principles document should be permanently featured on
the C20 official website.

SOURCE: C20 PRINCIPLES (2019)

ÂÂ INDEPENDENCE
While welcoming input and open debate, ultimate decision-making and sign-
off prerogatives on C20 positions belong to C20 member organizations. The
C20 is the exclusive domain of civil society, mandated to carry out its work and
develop its policy recommendations autonomously, that is, free from undue
influence by any non-civil society actors.

ÂÂ COLLABORATION
To address issues of common interest, the C20 should cooperate with other
engagement groups (such as the L20, T20, B20, W20, Y20 etc.) to enhance the
impact of the C20’s work. Such cooperation must be based on balanced power
relations, adequate consultation among C20 members and with agreement of
the C20 Steering Committee and International Advisory Committee.

ÂÂ HUMAN RIGHTS
Gender Equality and women’s empowerment. The C20 should identify existing
inequalities, forms of discrimination and other human rights violations, and
strongly request G20 Governments to tackle gender and other inequalities,
promoting the empowerment of women and girls, men and boys both at
country and global level.

ÂÂ INCLUSIVENESS
The C20 is a space for meaningful exchange and cross-country collaboration,
which does not tolerate any form of discrimination, including on the basis of
geographic location, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, caste,
language, age, ability, legal status (e.g., migrant, refugee and statelessness),
ideology, religion or political belief. The C20 will use innovative, cost-efficient

 and practical approaches, including the use of ICTs (e.g., webcasting, videoconferencing
and other online tools) in order to foster greater and more diverse participation of civil
society actors, particularly from the global south and marginalized groups.

ÂÂ CONTINUITY
Although the overall themes and priorities of the C20 may vary from year to year,
all C20 processes should be guided by the aim of reflecting the perspective and
experience of civil society across a diverse range of topics, including those which civil
society wants the G20 to address but are not currently on the G20 agenda.

For that to happen, each C20 process should always build on its predecessors and
ensure that the voices and experience from different parts of the world are taken into
account. The C20 structure outlined in section B is viewed as essential for maintaining
this continuity. In order to ensure continuity, the current C20 Chair will transfer the
domain of the C20 website (www.civil-20.org) and social media to the following C20
chair as the G20 Presidency is transferred. Each new chair will ensure that previous
years’ C20 online content remain available.

ÂÂ PREDICTABILITY
In order to contribute to the transparency of the C20, it is crucial to have clear
schedules and processes in place that outline a step-by-step approach for every
deliverable/product that will be produced for publication on behalf of the C20. These
processes must be communicated in advance, as early as possible, with clear deadlines
for each milestone of that process. Ideally those processes will include drafting, review,
and interaction stages (conference calls, or in-person meetings).

INTERNATIONAL & NATIONAL CONSULTATION – MARCH-JULY 2022

The C20 Working Groups develop recommendations for the G20 in accordance with their
priority issues. Each working group has unique priority issues which will be brought on the
table of discussion with G20 leaders. The consultation is to encourage a dialogue between
representatives of civil society organizations and political leaders of G20 countries, as well as the
Indonesian president as the leader of G20 this year.

The consultation process aims to deepen, to corroborate or add more evidence to the issues
and to agree on the issues and policy recommendations to be raised at the G20 Leaders
Summit, with the input from experts and relevant organisations. National consultation involves
national organisations and/or experts in the dialogues, while international consultation involves
international organisations and/or experts.

NATIONAL POLICY DIALOGUE – JULY 2022

The C20 will conduct National Policy Dialogue with the president of the Republic of Indonesia
mid-2022. The policy dialogue will involve discussions with the president of Indonesia as
the leader of G20 2022 to raise issues, share perspectives, find common ground, and reach
agreement or consensus, if possible, on policy solutions.

C20 SUMMIT – OCTOBER 2022

The Civil Society 20 (C20) Summit will convene ahead of the G20 Leaders Summit 2022, which
is to be hosted by Indonesia at the end of 2022. The C20 Summit is a civil society-led event
bringing together civil societies from across G20 countries as well as other countries around
the world particularly the global south to discuss and debate the G20 Leaders’ agenda, and the
priority issues to be proposed to the G20 leaders.
