Annual Progress Report 2011Digest Version

TICAD IV

T he Fourth TICAD Ministerial Follow-up Meeting is held in Marrakech, Morocco on May 5-6, 2012. This is the last Follow-up Meeting before

TICAD V and is also the very starting point for the preparation process of TICAD V.

With one year remaining towards meeting the targets of the “Yokohama Action Plan (YAP)”, Japan will continue to faithfully implement the TICAD IV pledges which consist of four pillars, namely “Boosting Economic Growth”, “Achieving MDGs”, “Consolidation of Peace and Good Gover-nance”, and “Addressing Environmental and Climate Change”.

It has been announced that TICAD V will be held in Yokohama, Japan, from June 1 to 3 in 2013. TICAD V will commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the TICAD process, and will be the first summit meeting for the African Union Commission (AUC) to join as one of its co-organisers. TICAD V will build on the achievements made so far while taking into account recent developments in the continent. It is hoped that the relationship between Japan and Africa will enter into a new stage through TICAD V in 2013.

Africa, now drawing international attention as a “continent of hope and opportunity”, has increasingly exerted its presence as an economic fron-tier following Asia, although the continent has more to do to overcome the challenges ahead.

T he year 2011 saw steady progress in the implementation of the Yokohama

Action Plan (YAP) of TICAD IV. With one year remaining towards meeting the targets of YAP, concerted efforts of TICAD partners and Africa itself need to be further enhanced. This report provides a record of progress achieved from 2008 to March 2012 (incl. provisional figures), with special focus placed on progress made during 2011.

Africa’s economies are recovering from the slump which had been caused by the global recession. Higher com-modity prices and export volumes are considered to be the main driver of the growth. According to the African Economic Outlook*, the continent’s growth is expected to accelerate to 5.8% in 2012. However, there are sever-al factors which might have a negative impact on sustainable development in Africa such as the rise in food and oil prices and political tensions in some parts of the continent.

All TICAD development partners and a newly joined partner as a co-organiser, the African Union Commission will continue to promote the integration and development of Africa so as to achieve the overall development of the continent.

II. Boosting Economic Growth

Tackling infrastructure constraints, particularly in the areas of transport, energy, water and ICT is a key to increased competitiveness and productivity of the African economy, as well as enhanced livelihood in the continent.

In this light, regional infrastructure, such as transport corridors and power pools, offers tremendous benefits. There are a wide range of international initiatives highlighting the importance of infrastructure investment for sustainable and inclusive growth, including the High Level Panel Report on Infrastructure submitted to the G 20 in October 2011 and the NEPAD-OECD Africa Investment Initiative. Japan made an active contribution to launch “Aid for Investment in Infrastructure” project in the NEPAD-OECD Investment Initiative, which resulted in the report on mapping support for Africa’s Infrastructure Investment.

TheYAPtargetforgrantaidandtechnicalcooperationforthissectorwasalreadyachievedin2009.Implementationofthetargetprogressedfurtherthisyear(252%).

A frica has achieved sustained economic growth since 2000, and recovered rapidly from the recent global recession. Since its inception, the TICAD process has stressed the importance of private-sector-led growth

and the need to create an enabling environment for such growth. While economic growth and investment have led to job creation, it needs to be noted that recent economic development in Africa coincides with increased economic disparities, which TICAD partners and African countries should further address.

2. Trade, Investment and Tourism

A frica has become a major destination for foreign direct investment in recent years. With the total amount of foreign direct investment from around the world in Sub-Saharan countries exceeding the

amount of aid since 2006, the promotion of trade and investment has been becoming increasingly impor-tant to African development.

It is also important to focus on how to maximise the socio economic benefits which investment can gener-ate. In this connection, Japan’s investment has contributed not only to job creation but also to technology transfer and human resource development with a focus on the downstream industrial development that will lead to a stable socio-economy in African countries.

II. Boosting Economic Growth

F ood prices remained high and volatile, although sharp falls in international prices of cereals, sugar and oils were observed in the latter half of 2011. Africa needs to increase food production substantially and pre-

vent the rise in food prices to ensure economic and social stability.

Food security has become high on the international agenda. The importance of improving and ensuring food security is addressed as a matter of priority in various international fora, including G8 and G20.

Although the Horn of Africa experienced the worst drought in 60 years, not all African countries faced drought in 2011. While some regions experienced abundant harvests, inadequate road networks prevented surplus commodities from reaching areas in need.

28 countries have signed Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Compacts as part of a strategic planning process for prioritising agriculture investment;19 countries have developed CAADP-based investment plans which have already been reviewed by the AUC, and 16 of these countries have organised High Level Business Meetings to validate and endorse their plans.

The TICAD process seeks alignment with the CAADP agenda to enhance capacity to: (1) increase food produc-tion and agricultural productivity, (2) improve access to markets and agricultural competitiveness, (3) support sustainable management of water resources and land use.

III. Achieving the MDGs –Economic and social dimension of “human security”

A t the MDGs Summit in September 2010, participants acknowledged that more attention should be given to Africa, especially these countries most off track to achieve the MDGs by 2015. While several countries

are likely to reach most of the goals, if not by 2015 then soon thereafter, further efforts by both the African countries and their development partners are required to accelerate Africa’s progress towards the goals.

Japan hosted the MDGs Follow-up Meeting in Tokyo in June 2011 and reaffirmed its resolve to faithfully imple-ment its international commitments, such as “Kan Commitment” which includes assistance of US$3.5 billion in the education sector and US$5 billion in the health sector over 5 years starting from 2011, for the achievement of the MDGs.

While achieving the current MDGs is of utmost importance for the international community, Japan has been leading the international discussion regarding post-2015 development agenda. Japan believes that if the in-ternational community can draw a blueprint of the global development agenda beyond 2015, it would encour-age and accelerate the efforts to achieve the current MDGs. In this regard, post-2015 development agenda will be given a high priority in the course of the TICAD process. It is important to ensure the structural continuity based on the current MDGs. Poverty eradication and continued support for the vulnerable will remain as one of the major challenges beyond 2015.

E ducation, especially primary education is a basis for human resource development and one of the most important elements for the stable growth.

Japan committed to provide assistance of US$3.5 billion over 5 years starting from 2011 in the education sector as a part of “Kan Commitment” announced at the MDGs summit in September 2010.

The TICAD process supports African efforts to develop comprehensive education sector plans and allocate suf-ficient national budgets for the implementation and development of related capacities. Furthermore, TICAD partners have promoted basic and post-basic education, including technical and vocational education/training and higher education and human resource development that will lead to economic growth and sustainable socio-economic development in Africa.

Creating Network among Universities●Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST)

Aiming to be a top-level regional science and technology university, E-JUST was launched in October 2008 as a “university with small class sizes and emphasis on research, with graduate studies as the core focus”. Japan has been supporting E-JUST through a Domestic Support Committee comprised of 12 universities, MOFA, MEXT, METI, the Middle East Research Institute of Japan and representa-tives of industry and other actors (an “all-Japan” approach). The graduate course opened to accept students in six majors in Feb-ruary 2010 and as of January 2012, 63 students are studying there. It is expected that human resources development emphasising “sci-ence and technology”, in which Japan has a comparative advantage, will contribute to enhancing the level of education both in Egypt and the region, and will eventually lead to the promotion of industry-uni-versity coordination between Africa and the Middle East.

Japanese Government ScholarshipsExceeding the YAP target of expanding the number of Japanese government scholarship students from Africa to more than 500 in 5 years, a total of 677 Japanese government scholarship students were accepted between 2008 and 2011.

III. Achieving the MDGs

J apan committed to provide assistance of US$5 billion over 5 years starting from 2011 in the health sector as a part of “Kan Commitment” announced at the MDGs summit in September 2010. Additionally, including

by hosting the MDGs Follow-up Meeting in June and the MDGs Ministerial-level Side event on the occasion of the UNGA in September 2011, Japan has been leading global efforts for achieving the MDGs.

The TICAD process, taking into account the commitments and actions made by African countries, has focused on strengthening health systems, improving maternal, new-born and child health and taking measures against infectious diseases.

Japan has constructed, rehabilitated or provided equipment to a total of 3,935 hospitals or health cen-tres in 32 countries from 2008 to 2011 (as of March, 2012).

Improving 1,000 hospitals and health centres

In order to achieve the training and retention of health and medical workers, including birth attendants, in 2008-2010, Japan supported the capacity building of a total of 203,671health and medical work-ers through training, seminars, and other endeavors in Japan, in-country, and in third coun-tries. This assistance aims to contribute to the achievement of the WHO threshold of 2.3 health workers per 1,000 peo-ple in Africa.

The following are examples of collaborative activities in 2011.

●Contribution through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

As of December 2011, approximately 56%of the Global Fund’s resources were allocated for preventing and treating the three infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa.As one of the founders of the Global Fund, Japan has disbursed US$ 1.4 billion as of the end of 2011. During the Davos Forum in January 2012, then Prime Minister Naoto Kan announced that Japan would disburse US$ 340 million in 2012 subject to approval by the Diet, as a part of his US$ 800 million pledge to the Fund made at the MDGs summit in September 2010.　　

●Cooperation between the Global Fund and Sony for fight against HIV/AIDS In collaboration with the Global Fund and AMREF (African Medical Research Association), Sony Corporation organised public view-ing events to promote HIV/AIDS education in Tanzania in November 2011. Broadcasts of films and music accompanied by activities to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS pre-vention and HIV tests, were organ-ised in cooperation with Japanese internship students. Six events were organised across the country and totally 4,700 youths partici-pated in them.

●NGO’s program against HIV/AIDS

Association for Aid and Relief (AAR) Japan Association for Aid and Relief (AAR) Japan started a comprehen-sive program against HIV/AIDS near the Lusaka Metropolitan area in 2010 and its second phase was implemented in 2011. Groups of inspired students and people living with HIV/AIDS in the community promote prevention, care and support. In addi-tion, AAR has been supporting orphans and vulnerable children in their schooling.

World Vision Japan The third phase of HIV Testing and Counseling (HTC) Scale-up project in Malawi was implemented from October 2010 to October 2011. 25 HTC centres were constructed and 108 staff were trained at the HTC centres for a period of three years. The overall goal for constructing these centres is to reduce HIV prev-alence through HTC services in the targeted districts.

●Strengthened Delivery of Sexual Reproductive Health Services and Gender-Based Violence Response in Somalia-South Central Zone UNFPA has strived to strengthen delivery of sexual reproductive health services and gender-based violence response in the south central zone of Somalia since 2009. Main activities in 2011 include capacity building for health care providers (28 midwives, 13 doctors and 21 coordinators), reproductive health outreach services for the IDPs, supply of reproductive health kits to health facilities and pregnant women, two fistula campaigns while car-rying out operations for 110 fistula cases and awareness raising campaigns on prevention of HIV / AIDS, sexual transmitted dis-eases, FGM, and gender-based violence.

IV. Consolidation of Peace/Good GovernanceJ apan welcomes the efforts made by African countries, AU and the RECs in the area of consolidation of peace

and good governance, such as mediation and dispatch of peace keeping missions. However, the continent has seen not only progress but also significant challenges such as persistent conflicts, political instability, increasing threat of terrorism and piracy. Moreover, in the Horn of Africa, the worst drought in 60 years has further aggra-vated the humanitarian situation while piracy off the coast of Somalia loomed as a security challenge.

Yokohama Action Plan notes that the consolidation of peace encompasses different phases and a variety of actions and that these processes require seamless and continuous support which covers conflict prevention, humanitarian assistance, reconstruction assistance, restoration and maintenance of security, and promotion of good governance. In 2011, after establishing diplomatic relations with the newly independent Republic of South Sudan, Japan decided to dispatch an engineering unit of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) as in-ternational peace cooperation corps to the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS). As this example illustrates, Japan continues to provide timely assistance to African countries, in collaboration with other international actors, to help consolidate peace and good governance in Africa.

In July 2011, the Republic of South Sudan became independent. Yet, there remain several issues to be agreed and resolved between Sudan and South Sudan. Japan, in the hope of peaceful coexistence and development of Sudan and South Sudan, has provided assistance of more than US$720 million both to North and South since 2005.

Somalia now faces a critical juncture for the realisation of peace. Japan, a major donor of Somalia, works together with other donors and organisations to contribute to the future of the people of Somalia. Since 2007, Japan has provided assistance of approximately US$230 million for enhancement of security and infrastructure in Somalia.

V. Addressing Environmental/ Climate Change Issues

Mitigation

T he TICAD process promotes policy dialogue in the field of climate change, supports development of an effec-tive framework, and strengthens assistance to African countries that make efforts to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions and achieve economic growth in a compatible manner, in the areas of policy planning, mitigation, access to clean energy, and adaptation to climate change.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP17) was held in South Africa. During COP17, progress was made toward establishing a new, fair and effective international framework in which all major economies participate.

In particular, concerning the future framework, Parties decided to establish the Ad-Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action as a new process for formulating legal documents. It was also agreed that the Working Group needs to be completed as early as possible, no later than 2015 at the latest so that the future framework will come into effect and be implemented from 2020.

Japaniscommittedtostrengtheningitsassistanceintheareasofmitigationandadaptation,withmajoreffortsdescribedbelow.
