The Ministry of Finance of Japan is pleased to announce an upcoming thematic event, “Safeguarding Africa’s Future: A Decade of Progress in Disaster Risk Reduction and Infrastructure Support,” scheduled to be held on Friday, August 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM. This significant event aims to reflect on and celebrate a decade of dedicated efforts and achievements in bolstering Africa’s resilience through disaster risk reduction (DRR) and infrastructure development.
This special occasion will provide a valuable platform to review the progress made over the past ten years in these crucial areas, highlighting successful initiatives, lessons learned, and future directions. The event will bring together a distinguished group of stakeholders, including policymakers, development partners, international organizations, experts, and representatives from African nations, to engage in insightful discussions and foster collaborative approaches to building a more resilient and prosperous Africa.
Disaster risk reduction and robust infrastructure are foundational pillars for sustainable development and economic growth. Over the past decade, Japan, through its various development cooperation programs, has been a committed partner in supporting African countries in their endeavors to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters and to build essential infrastructure that drives progress and improves the lives of their citizens.
The thematic event will offer an opportunity to showcase concrete examples of successful projects and policy dialogues that have contributed to enhanced disaster preparedness, response capabilities, and the development of critical infrastructure across the African continent. It will also serve as a forum to explore innovative strategies and partnerships needed to address emerging challenges and to accelerate progress towards the realization of Africa’s development aspirations.
Further details regarding the event’s agenda, venue, and registration process will be announced in due course. We look forward to your participation in this important discussion as we collectively work towards safeguarding Africa’s future.
