Book Description
The Eighth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD8) will be held in August 2022. Held triennially, the timing of this year’s conference is right for the recovery and advancement of economies and societies across Africa, which have been stagnating due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This feature will present the current situation in Africa, which is moving away from being a recipient of aid and toward becoming a driving force of rapid development under its own initiative, as well as Japan’s cooperative efforts, with diverse approaches in all fi elds. We hope that the feature will provide an opportunity for fresh perspectives on Africa.

Book Description
Everyone across the world is now experiencing the effects of climate change, especially in developing countries, where disasters and other impacts are becoming more severe. In order to meet the enormous needs for both climate change countermeasures and development, it has become essential to go beyond differences in position and bring together the knowledge, technology, and funds from all sides. The private sector has a major part to play in this context; it aims to solve issues through business activities. This feature looks at the current state of climate change and introduces examples of collaboration between the private sector and JICA which utilize the strengths of both parties, particularly in developing countries.

Book Description
The Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are not only geographically close to Japan but also have strong historical ties with their northern neighbor. While the environment of these island countries nurtures unique cultures, it also hinders the establishment of social infrastructure and economic development. In recent years, these countries have also faced various problems caused by climate change. As well as introducing recent projects by JICA, which has long provided cooperation to help solve the problems these countries face, we look to the future that Japan and the region are trying to create.

Book Description
Once the world's largest ODA provider, contemporary Japan seems much less visible in international development. However, this book demonstrates that Japan, with its own aid philosophy, experiences, and models of aid, has ample lessons to offer to the international community as the latter seeks new paradigms of development cooperation.
