Japan co-hosted Tokyo International Conference on African development
(TICAD) in 1993 (TICAD I) and 1998 (TICAD II) in Tokyo with UN (OSCAL (Office
of the Special Coordination for Africa and the Least Development Countries)
and UNDP) and GCA (Global Coalition for Africa). Since then, TICAD has
provided fundamental and comprehensive policy and guideline on African
development.
At TICAD I, African countries and their development partners determined to do their utmost for African stability and prosperity.
At TICAD II, African countries and their development partners agreed on the Tokyo Agenda
for Action (TAA), the strategic and action oriented guideline, with poverty
reduction in Africa and its integration into the global economy as two
fundamental goals.
In preparation for holding a TICAD III in the future, Japan and co-organizers will hold ministerial-level meeting
on African development in Tokyo this December. (Ministry of Foreign Affairs Japan)
