28-30 May Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD IV)

TICAD stands for "Tokyo International Conference on African Development". But it is more than a conference.

TICAD has become a major global framework for Asia and Africa to collaborate in promoting Africa's development.

The first Tokyo Conference was held in 1993 and ushered in a continuing process of support for Africa and consensus-building around African development priorities. That process was bolstered with a second Tokyo conference in 1998.
