8th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD)

August 27, 2022 - August 28, 2022

TICAD stands for Tokyo International Conference on African Development. The Government of Japan has been leading this conference since 1993, co-hosted by United Nations, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Bank, and African Union Commission (AUC). In July 2020, the Government of Japan announced that TICAD8 would be hosted by the Republic of Tunisia in 2022. TICAD8 will take place in Africa for the second time since Kenya hosted TICAD6 in 2016. In light of the outcomes of TICAD7 held in Yokohama in August 2019, Japan will continue to strongly support African-led development toward TICAD8.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan, Mr. Hirokazu Matsuno stated that TICAD8 would strongly support African-led development and aim at setting out a pathway for African development looking ahead to the post-COVID-19 era, as the pandemic has had given a considerable socio-economic impact also on Africa.
