Co-organizers
TICAD was launched in 1993 as an initiative for Africa through the
joint effort of the Government of Japan, the United Nations (at
that time through its Office of the Coordinator for Africa and the
Least Developed Countries) and the Global Coalition for Africa.
The World Bank joined the TICAD co-organizers in 2000.
The UN entities which now take responsibility for TICAD are the
Office of the Secretary General's Special Adviser on Africa (OSSA)
and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The TICAD process in general involves a variety of stakeholders
including all African countries, Asian and donor countries who act
as Africa's development partners, international agencies and representatives
of civil society.
TICAD's co-organizers work together to keep Africa's development
agenda in the forefront of the world's attention by mustering support
for Africa, particularly in times when attention may have been diverted
elsewhere. They have also worked to form international consensus
on the priorities in African development based on the principle
of African ownership of Africa's development.
