August 20, 2019
Public Seminar “Building a Better World through Business – Challenges in Humanitarian Assistance in Africa and the Role of Private Sector” by ICRC and Waseda U.
Taking the opportunity of Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) VII, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Waseda University will host a seminar to discuss the latest humanitarian needs and challenges affected by conflict and exchange views on the expected roles and responsibilities of Japanese private sector and academic institutions in this field.
ICRC and Waseda concluded the Memorandum of Understanding in November 2018, in which both institutions agreed to work together for collaborative projects/programs including the development of innovative technologies for humanitarian assistance. In marking a start of their collaboration, this side event of TICAD VII takes Africa as an example to explore the possibilities of collaboration for building a more stable, prosperous world.
