As one of the key political and economic forums in the world, the G20 Summit was created to facilitate a stable and peaceful world through promoting several development agendas. Decisions taken by this forum help to support reform at the national and international levels. Since its creation in 2012, the T20 has comprised think tanks that aim at developing research and evidence-based briefs and recommendations to guide governments in policy development.  The T20 Africa Standing Group established in 2017 should monitor the extent to which its policy recommendations on  Africa-related issues have influenced and impacted policies and plans that emerge out of the G20.
