1.1 We, Japan and the leaders of African Union member states, heads of government and delegations are representatives of African intergovernmental organizations, international organizations, regional organizations and partner countries, and representatives of the private sector and civil society of both Japan and Africa. At the same time, for the 7th African Development Conference (TICAD7), we met in Yokohama, Japan from August 28th to 30th, 2019. 1.2 We note the recent progress of Africa as a whole and recognize the major changes in the continent and the world since the start of TICAD in 1993. We will also keep in mind the achievements of TICAD since its establishment, and continue to implement Africa's ownership and international community partnerships, inclusiveness and openness as its basic principles. The implementation of TICAD should be guided by African development trends and priorities, keeping in mind the principles of sustainable development and human security. Therefore, TICAD is committed to the African vision as specified in the African Union (AU) Agenda 2063 and its first 10-year implementation plan, and the international commitment to the 2030 Agenda (SDGs) for Sustainable Development. The gauge should be the same. We appear in the operational tool of the agreement that was launched at the 12th Extraordinary General Assembly of the African Union held in Niamey, Niger on July 7, 2019. As such, we commend the efforts of the African Union and its member countries toward deepening economic integration.

It is recommended to make. We welcome the transition from the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) to the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD). 1.3 We recognize the unique role of TICAD as a multilateral forum for African development. In this regard, TICAD co-organizers consisting of the Japanese government, the United Nations, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the World Bank and the African Union Commission (AUC) reflect the multilateral nature of TICAD. We are co-sponsored by TICAD, particularly on connecting Africa with regional, continental and global knowledge, networks and knowledge, encouraging consensus building, and supporting the implementation of regional, continental and internationally shared issues. Recognize that each person has a comparative advantage and contributes. In addition to TICAD, Japan led international discussions on African development issues during its term as G20 presidency. At the same time, we recognize that the special relationship between Japan and Africa is centralized in TICAD. This will allow Africa and Japan to benefit from their mutual advantages, including Japan's experience in Asian development and Africa's recent economic vitality. Japan and Africa have high-quality infrastructure, private sector impact investment, macroeconomic stability, technological innovation in industrialization, economic reform and social development, and climate change to achieve human development and human security. Recognize the importance of cooperation on issues such as adaptation and mitigation, disaster risk reduction and management, human resource development, institution building, and peace and security.
2.1 TICAD7 will be held in a rapidly evolving dynamic global context. We commend the level of economic growth that the African continent has achieved since TICADVI. We note the progress towards operationalization of AfCFTA to deepen regional economic integration and achieve the goals of the Abuja Convention, making AfCFTA less susceptible to price fluctuations and more sustainable and inclusion Recognize that it promotes international trade. We also make progress realized to improve governance, human and institutional capacity and service delivery and to protect people in vulnerable and alienated situations, especially children, youth, women and girls. recognize. We recognize the deepening of democratic practice and commend African-led efforts for peace and security issues, such as recent progress in the African horn. We further establish human rights and human and human rights, including through the contributions of human rights institutions such as the African Court on Human and People's Rights, the African Commission on Human Rights and the Expert Committee on Children's Rights and Welfare. Recognize progress in We support ongoing efforts to strengthen the humanitarian, development, peace and security nexus, including the operation of African humanitarian agencies. In addition, we are determined to support AU Agenda 2063 and its flagship programs and projects, including the “End of Conflict by 2020” initiative, recognizing that peace and development are closely linked. 2.2 We recognize that despite the aforementioned progress, Africa faces a global challenge that could hinder and impair previous progress. Climate change, loss of biodiversity, non-regular migrants, outbreaks of disease and natural disasters, as seen in the examples of cyclones `` Idai '' and `` Kenneth '' that destroyed parts of southern and eastern Africa in 2019 There are no borders. We recognize the important role that Moroccan African Immigration Observatory, Mali African Migration Research Center and Sudan Continental Operations Center should play to effectively strengthen governance of migration and human movement in Africa. To do. We occur in other parts of the world and in the African continent, including high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, illegal money flows, illegal drugs, trafficking and small arms proliferation and illegal trade, wild animals and plants illegal trade Recognize that the impact of negative events may delay progress towards achieving the goals and aspirations of the AU Agenda 2063 and 2030 Agenda. Around the world, countries need to create rewarding, humane jobs for young people and women, taking into account that technological advancements are changing occupational societies. We take note of the importance of a human-centric approach, to prepare for the impact of digitalization on employment, create an environment that encourages people's access to new information technologies, and take advantage of these changes.

We are determined to work individually and jointly to address these issues as an urgent issue. 2.3 We are determined to take advantage of the opportunities for change in Africa to maintain and accelerate development progress. Africa is particularly rich in untapped renewable energy, arable land and natural resources that can be used to drive socio-economic transformation. Africa is the youngest continent, with a population of over 1 billion and a middle class of 300 million that grows as income increases. With new economic opportunities created by urbanization and changing diets, agriculture and agriculture-related businesses are expected to become a US $ 1 trillion industry by 2030. Some African Union member states also have the fastest growing economies and are among the top performers in terms of improving the business environment. With the improvement of the business and regulatory environment, Africa is offering large investment opportunities to domestic and foreign investors, especially for economic diversification in sectors that bring about changes such as agriculture, industry, infrastructure, energy and ICT. Yes. The African continent is an attractive investment destination for investors and is a huge source of consumer markets for food, products and services produced at home and abroad. In this regard, we are determined to increase awareness of AfCFTA internationally and to promote a public awareness platform for African and Japanese private sector and other stakeholders to strengthen the implementation of AfCFTA. Africa increases competitiveness among African youth through training tailored to priority areas for economic structural change, as highlighted in the newly launched African Union Gender Strategy and the African Union Population Bonus Roadmap Africa can enjoy a population bonus if it is empowered from a young age and develops and uses science, technology and innovation to acquire the necessary skills and skills. 2.4 We emphasize the importance of multilateralism and international legitimacy. We should address the reform of the UN Security Council in a comprehensive, transparent and balanced manner, addressing all five major issues, including the issue of veto, and As mentioned in General Assembly Decision 62/557, the United Nations Member States should have full independence and be the most politically acceptable possible from Member States through intergovernmental negotiations Reemphasize that. We recognize historical injustice against Africa in terms of representation at the UN Security Council, and at least two permanent positions, including veto rights, in line with the common African positions set forth in the Ezulwini Agreement and the Silte Declaration Express support for Africa to be fully represented by the UN Security Council through its permanent seats with all rights and privileges as a member country and five non-permanent seats.
3.1 We have adopted “Advance in Africa! With people, technology and innovation” as the overall theme of TICAD7. The theme is in perfect alignment with the 2030 and AU Agenda 2063 for Sustainable Development and the priorities for the integration of the African continent, as reflected in the AU flagship program. .

In this context, we appreciate civil society's contribution to TICAD 7 and its continuation. We also recognize the important role of social networks, sports and cultural exchanges in strengthening people-to-people connectivity. 3.4 We will work together to attract foreign investors to Africa's priority sectors, keeping in mind that Africa is the region with the highest rate of return on foreign direct investment inflows worldwide. We welcome the G20 Principles on Transparency, Sustainability, and Quality Infrastructure Investment in G20 Consensus on Macroeconomic Stability as specified in the G20 Osaka Summit Declaration. 3.5 We recognize that TICAD7 is based on the results of TICADV and TICADVI to ensure consistency and continuity. In this context, we confirm the importance of the next three pillars of TICAD7 and recognize the interrelationship between these pillars and the overall theme.

We believe that quality infrastructure that guarantees payability in terms of life cycle costs is the basis for a sustainable economic transformation. 4.1.2 We recognize the role of the private sector in African development and the link between the private sector, connectivity, technology and innovation. We welcome the African Business Council established by the Government of Japan and the private sector to encourage and facilitate business exchanges between Japan and the African Union member states, including through the private sector of other countries. We encourage initiatives such as the G20 “Compact with Africa”. We value business training under the Industrial Human Resource Development Initiative (ABE Initiative) for African youth, and that vocational training and small and medium-sized enterprises on the African continent are the primary means of job creation and entrepreneurship, including youth and women. While recognizing, we decided to strengthen them. We welcome efforts to support women's entrepreneurship through financial and technical assistance.

I am determined. We call for the involvement of all stakeholders, including the private sector, and encourage greater coordination and consistency of health programs across the global, African region and nations. 4.2.3 We have the least greenhouse gas emissions, while Africa is severely affected by climate change, and we are least prepared to manage and respond to climate change risks Emphasize that. Drought and desertification, which are repeated in the Sahel, the Horn of Africa and Southern Africa, and regularly attack the Southwest Indian Ocean, Southern and Eastern Africa, indicate the devastating effects of climate change. We recognize that climate change can cause social instability that could affect peace and security. We called for strengthening international efforts towards climate change mitigation and adaptation, especially through the African Agricultural Adaptation (AAA) Initiative, and effective and sustainable management and use of land, forests and water resources, and Recognize the need for efforts to address climate change development including waste management. In addition, we are working cooperatively to develop climate-tolerant infrastructure that will help to respond quickly to increase the development and productivity of climate change-responsive agriculture and to mitigate climate change and the phenomena caused by climate change. And support programs for African Union member states, especially island states, to tackle this challenge.
