Bloggers will be reporting live and direct from inside the G20 summit for the first time ever. Fifty bloggers from 22 countries have been invited to the summit on 2 April 2009 in London by a coalition of NGOs - the G20Voice - and the UK government.
This unprecedented event, backed by the Government, gives the bloggers and their audience the chance to engage with and influence world leaders on issues including development, climate change and women's rights. The bloggers were nominated by the public, with more than 700 nominations received in 12 days.
The organisations behind G20Voice are OxfamGB, Comic Relief, Save the Children, ONE and Blue State Digital. G20Voice is a collaborative effort demonstrating the breadth of commitment to ending world poverty and inequality.
