Preliminaries Economic growth, vast consumer markets, and other factors expanded business opportunities in Africa. However, the downward spiral in commodity prices, outbreaks of infectious disease, and acts of terrorism prompted the downsizing and withdrawal of businesses in Africa and held back new investments. --> Africa's future promises and challenges require coolheaded approaches. * Ensuring peace and stability will be a top priority for Japanese businesses to expand trade and investment. 2. Review of TICAD V Follow-up Measures TICAD V follow-up measures call for effective application of the PDCA cycle. On the whole, efforts by the Japanese government deserve high marks.For example, the formation of strategic master plans, security and disease countermeasures, and human resources development inthe business sector. Efforts by African nations have not shown enough headway. Solutions are urgently needed in those areas marked by poor progress. Examples include efforts to develop infrastructure, strengthen the capacity of public institutions, improve the business environment, and conclude investment protection treaties. 3. Thoughts on Future African Strategy (1) Implementation of a strategy that balances aid with investment Over the medium and longer term, a shift from aid to investment should be pursued -- a move that will be supported by Africa's abundant resources and vast markets. However, the near term approach should be powered by the dual engines of aid and investment. --> Continuing efforts to develop the business environment, build infrastructure, and develop human resources will be essential. (2) Priorities of African strategy Reflecting the PDCA approach to the implementation of TICAD V measures, Japan needs to define strategically important countries and business areas and establish targets for accomplishment, implementation schedules, and other per country or per business area-specific strategies. 4. The Challenges Ahead (1) Aid that spurs business activity Aid that promotes large-scale agriculture and improvements in farm productivity, the creation of food value chains that incorporate processing, storage and distribution; the stable supply of electric power and water; and improvements in public health and hygiene; are necessary. (2) Public-private-led programs to develop qualitatively advanced infrastructure The strategic, broad implementation of material and knowledge-intensive undertakings in infrastructure development that contribute to formation of the industrial base Early implementation and organic coordination of strategic master plans (3) Measures to develop the business environment Development of legal structures, steps in deregulation, the assurance of a level playing field, and the introduction of streamlined, fast-track administrative procedures Creation of bilateral frameworks for public-private policy dialogue, the early conclusion of tax and investment treaties, and the exploration of possibilities to conclude economic partnership agreements (EPAs) (4) Human resources training for sustainable growth Continuation of the ABE Initiative and the operation of the industrial human resources development center, and strengthening of training for the administrative workforce Regional Affairs Policy Proposals Comprehensive Strategy Economic Policy, Social Security Business Law Industrial Policy Urban and Local Development Industrial Technology Environment and Energy CSR, Education, DEI Labor Policy Trade, Investment, EPA/FTA International Cooperation Regional Affairs Archives 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 Pagetop Top About Keidanren About KEIDANREN Chairman's Message Officers of KEIDANREN Committee Chairs Secretariat Related Organizations Access Policy Proposals Comprehensive Strategy Environment and Energy Economic Policy, Social Security CSR, Education, DEI Business Law Labor Policy Industrial Policy Trade, Investment, EPA/FTA Urban and Local Development International Cooperation Industrial Technology Regional Affairs Executives' Comments Comment by Chairman Press Conferences Speech by Chairman Publications Contact us Links View: PC | Smartphone Copyright © 1995-2024.
