Background

Many African countries are already important political and economic partners of G20 members. To renew efforts of cooperation and enhance sustainable economic development the German Presidency has launched the G20 Africa Partnership.

The G20 initiative aims to support a reliable financial framework in order to increase investment opportunities, push for a more sustainable infrastructure as well as create jobs and employment in African countries and thereby contribute to the AU Agenda 2063.

On 12 – 13 June 2017 the German Federal Ministry of Finance, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Deutsche Bundesbank are hosting the International Conference “G20 Africa Partnership – Investing in a Common Future”. The conference will give opportunities to strengthen high-level dialogues between G20 and African decision-makers, to identify common areas of interests and further needs for action with regard to sustainable eco-nomic growth, stability and investment opportunities in Africa. At the core of the conference will be efforts to improve the framework conditions for private investment in African countries including through the G20 initiative “Compact with Africa”.

On the first day, Chancellor Angela Merkel, Federal Minister of Finance Wolfgang Schäuble and Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Gerd Müller will welcome high-ranking guests from African countries and G20 members for a high-level dialogue to discuss opportunities to enhance the busi-ness environment and increase investments in African countries.

44

The second day will be opened by the President of the Deutsche Bundesbank Jens Weidmann and will include a high-level investor roundtable (by invitation) and discussions in different breakout sessions which focus on measures to improve the macroeconomic, business, and financing framework conditions as well as digitalisation and energy infrastructure in African countries.

Throughout the conference there will be many opportunities and formats for networking activities between the participants which will consist of representa-tives from G20 and African countries, international organisations, investors, and further stakeholders.

Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in German, English, French and Arabic during the first day of the conference. On the second day, the conference language will be English only.

Accelerating investment in Africa requires maintaining a stable macroeconomic environment, including resilience in the face of adverse shocks, thereby providing investors with the confidence to undertake productive investments over time. This session discusses a key element of sound macro policy, namely raising public revenue to provide adequate economic infrastructure

while maintaining debt sustainability. Enhanced debt manage-ment frameworks and favorable terms for external financing of public investment are also important to safeguard debt sustain-ability. Additionally, implementing sound tax policies and strengthening national tax administration are key for boosting budgetary revenues. It will also be of particular relevance to pro-vide for tax certainty so as to ensure that the tax system has the clarity and stability needed to generate sufficient tax revenues and also to attract investors. OECD and IMF have recently made con-crete proposals for enhancing tax certainty.

Perceptions of political risk are a key constraint to private invest-ment in developing countries, second only to macroeconomic stability. The types of political risk investors care about relate to government conduct: regulatory changes, breach of contract, transfer and convertibility restrictions. This session focuses on policies governments can implement to make it easy to invest and reduce the risk to private investors, including by adopting frame-works that support good governance and a favorable business climate (legal and regulatory reforms, strong and trustworthy in-stitutions), providing access to dispute resolution mechanisms, and establishing early warning and tracking mechanisms to iden-tify complaints and issues that arise from government conduct.

9:30 a.m. c1 financing frameWork facilitating private funding of investments

In difficult markets, real or perceived risks and operating costs are excessively high – making private investment unviable. The chal-lenges are particularly acute for infrastructure projects which depend on government commitments for extended periods of time. The level of credibility of governments as key counter parties is often not sufficient to achieve project bankability. This session explores risk approaches that facilitate more pioneering invest-ments in Africa. This includes using development institutions’ balance sheets to take some risks the private sector will not take, or blending grants or concessional funds with private fi nance to improve risk-return ratios. Institutional investors can also be a po-tential new source of capital, given their growing size and the search for diversified, long-term returns which infrastructure as-sets can provide – but their involvement may require reviewing current regulations in advanced markets.

In many countries, Technical and Vocational Education and Train-ing (TVET) is not considered a desirable career path. A nation’s TVET system plays a crucial role to provide the skills required by the labor market. This session discusses new models that urge governments and the private sector to share mutual responsibility in deploying and governing TVET systems. A strong focus will be on the potentials of work-based learning as a ‘promising model’ for strengthening competitiveness of the private sector and for promotion of trade and regional economic integration.

This session explores approaches to improve project preparation and standardization. The lack of well-prepared portfolios of bank-able projects has been widely recognized as one of the key con-straints to infrastructure development in Africa. It is imperative to help develop both financial and technical capacity of African countries to build strong pipelines of bankable projects that could attract private investors, including through public- private part-nerships. Standardization of contracts is also essential to reduce transactions costs.

Deepening the African financial sector can support domestic sources of financing for investment. This entails further develop-ing domestic debt markets, with a well-established yield curve to provide a benchmark for private issuance. This would require addressing impediments in the enabling environment for capital market development such as the macro-policy setting, local institutional investor base, investment climate and financial soundness of the banking sector. Developing financial instru-ments to enhance the credit risk profile of securities issued in Africa (including to finance infrastructure) can also go a long way to substantially increase their attractiveness.

The digital economy in Africa is expanding, holding untapped growth potential that presents investment opportunities and ultimately job creation. Yet, these promises have not yet been ful-filled in all African countries because of barriers for public and private investments in the digital economy. Secondly, the prom-ises have not yet been fulfilled for everyone. The digital economy poses challenges in terms of skills shortages and mismatches and rising inequality for those who might be left behind because they lack skills.

outdoor ParcourS agenda 2063

outdoor ParcourS on the african union’S agenda 2063 BackgroundThe African Union (AU) comprises all African countries and, in this way, strengthens cooperation on the African continent, for the African continent.

In 2013, the heads of the AU member states outlined Africa’s own vision of the continent’s future: the AU Agenda 2063. With the Agenda 2063 – which notably contributed to the formulation of the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development – Africa’s leaders adopted a clear vision for sustainable development on the con-tinent. An accompanying implementation plan defines the goals to be achieved in the next ten years, embodied in the seven Aspirations of the Agenda document. As outlined in the Agenda 2063, Africa’s leaders and policymakers have vowed to support democracy, rule of law and economic reforms. They have committed to creating value in their own countries – promoting economic development, secu-rity and ensuring free markets while fighting corruption.

The G20 and the world follow Africa’s vision for development and look to engage with Africa through high-quality bi- and multi-lateral cooperation, using Agenda 2063 as a pivotal point of reference.

Outdoor Exhibition The Outdoor Exhibition on the AU’s Agenda 2063 presents the Agenda’s seven aspirations on seven columns, each of which showcases the remarkable progress being made towards transforming these aspirations into reality.

culture in conteXt

Partnership is founded on communication. The canvas for communication has many layers and often offers more possibilities than it seems capable of conquer-ing. To find out how communication works, one must not only observe but also expand one’s horizons. Music works by this principle. It is communication. Music plays with possibilities, arrangements, statements, resonances, timings, nota-tions, improvisations, rules and freedoms – and commands a central and con-necting instrument: the voice. Through voice, music has a medium to connect the inner and the outer and is, particularly in harmony with others, precise and multi- layered. The voice as a means to assert oneself is an instrument that music shares with politics. To lead at times, to follow at others. To create something – in harmony but also in dissonance with others – that goes beyond the self. But par-ticularly, to always have an ear for those voices and vibrations produced by others.

The cultural programme of the conference “G20 Africa Partnership – Investing in a Common Future” takes the political programme and translates it in its own way: eleven artists will come together in Berlin for four highly-focused days to create a special performance for this conference and to make the themes of “part-nership” and “dialogue” heard. Seven artists from Africa will meet four Berlin-based artists and together frame the conference with an artistic performance in order to make the central message of partnership and dialogue reverberate in a special way. The focus is placed on the human voice and the mbira as symbolic instruments that are particularly suitable to connect with the transcendental.

Artistic concept: Ingrid Allwardt, iQULT. The selection of African artists occurred in cooperation with Music in Africa.

a Perfect WaY to Start the daY “run & See Berlin”12 June (8:00 a.m.) and 13 June (6:00 a.m.)

As we all are very much aware, G20/Meeting days can be very demanding and sometimes quite long. So starting our day with a short run might be the perfect antidote and work as an extra oxygen shower to clear our heads. With “Run & See Berlin” we are offering an opportunity to come togetherinformally. Starting in the mornings well before the meetings we will do easygoing runs to the most beautiful sites in Berlin Mitte and its neighbourhood. There will be two groups on each day with different starting/meeting points. Your guides from http://www.mikes-sightrunning.de/en will act as “local running buddies”, who can suggest an interesting running route, report on the attractions along the way, and perhaps even distract you from your daily stress by indulging you in a light conversation about the history and the many fascinating tales of Berlin. The tours are timed between 45 minutes and one hour with a timely arrival back at the hotel.

On Monday, 12 June, there will be one group gathering at the lobby of Hotel “Crowne Plaze Berlin City Centre” and another group gathering at the lobby of Hotel “Steigenberger am Kanzleramt”. Each group will start at 8:00 a.m.

On Tuesday, 13 June, there will be one group gathering at the lobby of Hotel “Crowne Plaze Berlin City Centre” and another group gathering at the lobby of Hotel “Steigenberger am Kanzleramt”. Each group will start at 6:00 a.m.
