The survey of fire fighting situation & Waste disposal site in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania （1/3）ODA / TICAD【SK laboratory】阪本研究所
These photographs are part of a trip to a local firefighting situation survey and a waste disposal site survey before the basic design (B / D) of a government development assistance project (ODA project).
I traveled to Tanzania several times. First, in order to launch a new waste treatment plant construction project, I surveyed the site where there was a treatment plant before.
At that time, in this country, even if there was a lot of rubbish, poor people came to the rubbish pile and picked up everything they could use.
Thus, artificially, it felt like recycling was being done in their lives.
On the other hand, the fire department in Dar es Salaam, the capital city, regarding the fire situation, the maintenance status of fire fighting vehicles was very bad. Only firefighting vehicles using SCANIA chassis were in operation.
About ODA
Official development aid (ODA) is a term coined by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to measure aid. The DAC first used the term in 1969. It is widely used as an indicator of international aid flow. It includes some loans.
Most ODA comes from the 30 members of the DAC, or about $135 billion in 2013. A further $15.9 billion came from the European Commission and non-DAC countries gave an additional $9.4 billion. Although development aid rose in 2013 to the highest level ever recorded, a trend of a falling share of aid going to the neediest sub-Saharan African countries continued.

About TICAD
When the Cold War ended, developed countries' interest in providing assistance to Africa began to wane. Under such circumstance, it was Japan that argued for the importance of Africa, and TICAD was the proof of Japan taking action. Nowadays, there are various fora through which many countries engage themselves with Africa, but TICAD launched by Japan was the forerunner of such fora for African development.
Over the course of more than 20 years since TICAD I in 1993, the forum has a track record of improving social and economic conditions in Africa mainly through grant aids and technical assistance. In the five years starting from fiscal year 2008, the government of Japan built 1,321 elementary and middle schools, improved 4,778 healthcare and medical facilities, and provided safe water to additional 10.79 million people.
TICAD stands for Tokyo International Conference on African Development. The government of Japan has been leading this conference since 1993, co-hosted by United Nations, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Bank and African Union Commission (AUC). This year's TICAD was held on 28th - 30th August, 2019 at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama city, Japan.
TICAD, a key investment forum aimed at strengthening Japan-Africa economic and political relations, was taken place at a time when Japanese firms have increased their investments locally.
UNCTAD came to an end with the endorsement of “Nairobi Azimio” and “Nairobi Maafikiano”, two documents that provide a set of trade and development issues to be tackled in the next four years.
The Azimio document, derived from the Kiswahili word for “vision”, will act as a declaration of guiding principles for UN members on issues of trade while the Maafikiano one sets out obligations for each member state and UNCTAD itself.
“The Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, will attend. He will open the conference with President Uhuru Kenyatta,” said Manoah Esipisu, the State House spokesperson on Sunday.
The Summit will have three main themes: promoting structural economic transformation through economic diversification and industrialization, promotion of resilient health systems for quality of life and promotion of social stability.”
Since its inception over two decades ago, TICAD has evolved into a major global forum for mobilizing international support for development in Africa under the principles of African ownership and international partnership.
The forum has never been held outside Tokyo. The conference will be held a month after the high profile UNCTAD14 that saw over 7,000 delegates gather in Nairobi to discuss trade and development issues, sign deals and set working targets for UN member states.
Delegates agreed that countries UNCTAD needs to offer more assistance in order for them to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs), a set of development targets agreed by the UN to be achieved by 2030.
They also decided that the agency should mobilize additional financial resources for developing countries from “multiple sources.”
