Ensure that actions foster strong, responsible, accountable and transparent development partnerships between the G20 and LIC>> G20 Development Principles, 2010 Seoul Development Consensus for Shared Growth Engagement with developing countries, in particular LICS, is at the core of the G20 development agenda. At the Toronto Summit in June 2010, G20 leaders recognized that a crucial part of achieving sustained prosperity through the G20 Framework involved enhancing the role of these countries in the global economy. In the Seoul Development Consensus launched later that year, G20 leaders identified an overarching objective of helping LICs improve and maintain the levels and quality of growth. 3.1 DWG Approach to Outreach Since the first DWG meetings in 2011, outreach has been an important feature of the G20 development agenda. Invitees to DWG meetings include non-G20 developing countries as representatives of regional and sub-regional organizations, countries involved in specific G20 actions or implementation of pilot projects, private sector representatives and civil society. Saint Petersburg Accountability Report on G20 Development Commitments 72 Outreach provides the DWG with an opportunity to engage developing countries and other stakeholders in discussions on the G20 development agenda, identify Chapter 3 Outreach to Low Income Countries through G20 Development Working Group links with national and regional development policies, and obtain developing country views about DWG policy issues. It also enables developing countries to draw upon G20 experience in implementing initiatives and the expertise of IOs involved in the DWG to identify policy solutions to development challenges. Thirteen non-G20 countries have participated in DWG meetings since the DWG's inception in 2010. The DWG has also directly engaged with developing countries through pilot projects implemented under several MYAP pillars. The DWG has used mechanisms such as toolkits, workshops and consultations to provide further opportunities for engaging LICs. Mutual Trust and confidence Increasing Awareness Value of Outreach
