Realizing greater outcomes through increased healthinvestment for Africa
Organized by : Africa Japan Forum, African Civil Society
Platform for Health (CISPHA), and GFAN Africa

Smallholder farmers are key food producers and provide morethan 80 percent of the food supply in Africa. Biodiversity is key
to smallholders who keep many climate-resilient varieties andbreeds alive. Smallholders are facing big challenges such asland grabbing where foreign agricultural investors acquiremassive piece of land and large agricultural projects likeProSavana in Mozambique or countries where land ownershipis not in favor of women like Benin. At this side event, we havespeakers from Mozambique, Benin, Burkina Faso, Uganda,
Kenya and Cameroon to share with us their stories on theirchallenges of securing farmers’ rights and their experiences ofthe people centered development projects on food security.

Attainment of SDGs in Africa is the key of Africa'sdevelopment. TICAD has a significant role to achieve
SDGs in Africa; in the Nairobi Declaration, which will beadopted in TICAD VI, identifies 3 emerging issues asindustrialization, health and social stability, and commits totackle these challenges by prioritizing the people invulnerability, including youth, women and people withdisability. In this symposium, we would like to talk about
the role of TICAD to achieve SDGs in Africa, and how
civil society and other non-state actors can play a greaterrole for Africa's development.

Despite the progress achieved in improving results and impacton Africa's health outcomes during the MDGs era, Africa still
faces numerous health threats, including HIV/AIDS,TB andother communicable and non-communicable diseases, highmaternal and child mortality rate. Civil society and community
groups in Africa have been responding to these threats bystrengthening community systems, primary health care, andcollective advocacy to urge African national governments toinvest 15% of their national budgets to health, following theAbuja Declaration in 2000. In this side event, we introduce
these efforts by Africa's civil society to promote inclusive andparticipatory approach for Africa's improved health outcomes.
