Global InformationTICAD Delegations information
TICAD Delegations are those attending the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), which is a conference held every five years in Japan with the objective "to promote high-level policy dialogue between African leaders and development partners." The first four of these conferences were held in Tokyo; and the fifth one was held in nearby Yokohama.[1]
TICAD has been an evolving element in Japan's long-term commitment to fostering peace and stability in Africa through collaborative partnerships.[2] The exchange of views amongst the conference delegates serves to underscore the case for more, not less assistance from the major world economies.[3]
The TICAD conferences were intended to help to promote high-level policy dialogue amongst African leaders and their development partners.[4]
