Tokyo International Conference On African Development - TICAD-I

TICAD-I

TICAD I was held in 1993. African countries and their development partners discussed strategies for taking steps toward greater African stability and prosperity. TICAD was formed at a time when the international community’s interest in Africa was starting to wane, and donor fatigue was setting in. This conference produced the "Tokyo Declaration on African Development."

Delegations from 48 African nations participated in the conference, including four heads of state: Twelve other nations sent delegations; and a number of international organizations also attended as delegates and as observers.
