The African Union is advocating for a stronger voice in global economic decision-making, driven by the goal of economic empowerment across Africa. Experts noted that Africa must leverage its natural resources and market size to secure greater influence in the global financial system. Furthermore, the African Union is working to advance renewable energy goals, aiming for universal energy access by 2040, despite facing financial constraints and underdeveloped grid infrastructure.

The push for greater global participation is tied to Africa's collective efforts to strengthen its hand in debt negotiations, following the adoption of a Common African Position on Debt. The African Union's efforts to integrate into global forums, such as the G20, reflect a strategic move to shape international economic rules and accelerate continental development.
