Main article: Tokyo International Conference on African Development

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] In this context, Japan has stressed the importance of "Africa's ownership" of its development as well as of the "partnership" between Africa and the international community.[1] 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]

TICAD has evolved into a major global forum to promote development on the continent under the principles of African "ownership" and international "partnership." These concepts became essential factors in the launch of the New Economic Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), a strategy for development designed by Africans themselves.[5]

TICAD-I (1993)

TICAD-I discussed strategies for taking steps toward greater African stability and prosperity.[1] This conference produced the "Tokyo Declaration on African Development."[6]

TICAD-II (1998)

TICAD-II discussed poverty reduction in Africa and Africa's fuller integration into the global economy.[1] in 1998. This converence produced the "Tokyo Agenda for Action" (TAA), which was intended to become a commonly understood strategic- and action-oriented set of guidelines.[5]Ideas proposed at TICAD-II were also taken up by the G8 in the creation of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.[4]

TICAD-III (2003)

TICAD III reviewed the achievements of the ten-year TICAD process and discussed the future direction TICAD should take.[1] TICAD-III brought together over 1000 delegates, including 23 heads of state and the Chairperson of the African Union.[5]

TICAD-IV (2008)

TICAD-IV focused on strategies for better mobilizing the knowledge and resources of the international community in the core areas of: (a) economic growth; (b) human security, including achieving the UN's Millennium Development Goals; and (c) environment/climate change issues. In addition, TICAD-IV tried to identify possible inter-linkages within the context of the G8 Hokkaidō Tōyako Summit in July 2008.[8]

Invitations were extended to 52 African countries and many heads of state decided to attend, including:
