The 8th Tokyo International Conference on African Development Conference (TICAD8) will be held in Tunisia on August 27 and 28, 2022. This time, TICAD8 will take place amid a complex global environment, in shadow of the war in Ukraine and prolonged impact of Covid-19. At the same time, it will provide a valuable opportunity to show Japan’s renewed commitment to African development and think about whether and how Japan should adjust and enhance its partnerships with Africa.
