Dear all,
We are very happy to announce the launch of C20 Turkey, the civil society-G20 engagement group for 2015 (www.c20turkey.org). As you may know, on 1 December 2014 the G20 Presidency rotated to Turkey. This means that, after a year of hard work from the Australian C20 Steering Committee, it is now the turn of Turkish civil society to organise the 2015 C20.
C20 Turkey is being facilitated by a group of 14 Turkish civil society organisations, working to tackle inequalities and promote sustainable, inclusive development at national and international levels. We are excited to be taking on the responsibility of facilitating the C20 this year.
Given the nature of the members of this group, we feel that you and the organizations you are related to would make a valuable contribution to the C20. For this reason, we would like to invite you to take part in the 2015 C20, which launches today with a multi-language online survey to help set the agenda for the next year (www.c20turkey.org/poll). This survey is open to anyone, and we really encourage you to take part. The survey will be live for approximately 6 weeks, and will form the first phase of the 2015 policy consultation process. You can read more about what will happen next here (www.c20turkey.org/page/how-we-work).
Right now, there are two ways you can get involved:
1. - Take part in the survey here and tell us which issues you think should be on civil society's agenda in 2015.
2. - Share the survey with your colleagues, networks and anyone else you think might be interested (survey short link: http://bit.ly/1xTvE4c).
If you'd like to find out more about the C20, or how to get involved, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at c20turkey@c20turkey.org (alternatively, see the background information at the end of this email).
Best wishes,
On behalf of the C20 Turkey Steering Committee,
Didem Demircan
About the C20
The C20 is a platform for civil society organisations around the world to engage with G20 governments on the key issues that concern them. It brings civil society together to help influence the G20, by acting as an interface with G20 decision-makers. First hosted by Russian civil society, the C20 is an officially-recognised G20 engagement group. The C20 has been hosted by Russian civil society (2013), Australian civil society (2014), and will now be hosted by Turkish civil society.
Who we are
C20 Turkey is being facilitated by a group of 14 Turkish civil society organisations, working across a range of national and international issues.
C20 Turkey
Each year since it began, the C20 has run a policy consultation process to engage national and international civil society organisations in developing joint civil society policy recommendations to the G20. These recommendations are then used as the basis for joint advocacy and influencing work with G20 governments for the duration of the Presidency. You can read the recommendations from C20 Australia here. This year, C20 Turkey is seeking to make this consultation process wider and more participatory than ever before. We are using a range of on and offline consultation mechanisms to encourage as many people as possible to take part. You can read more about how we work here.Kadın Emeğini Değerlendirme Vakfı / Foundation for the Support of Women's Work
