Si bien el sudeste asiático ha sido el principal destino de su asistencia, coopera con África desde 1960 considerando su precario desarrollo e importancia internacional. La Conferencia Internacional de Tokio sobre el Desarrollo Africano, es la plataforma a través de la cual se promueven proyectos de desarrollo para África. En este trabajo se analiza la evolución de la cooperación japonesa en la región, matizando sus intereses a través de dos proyectos que los evidencian, sin soslayar el impacto positivo que tienen en el desarrollo africano en el marco de un modelo de &#8220;cooperación integral para el desarrollo&#8221; el cual vincula asistencia oficial para el desarrollo, inversión privada y asistencia humanitaria.]]></p></abstract>

Although Southeast Asia has been the main destination for its assistance, it has cooperated with Africa since 1960 considering its precarious development and international relevance. The Tokyo International Conference on African Development is the platform through which development projects for Africa are promoted. Thus, this paper analyzes the evolution of Japanese cooperation in the region, underling its interests, and positive impact through two projects, that show Japanese interest, but also the positive impact on African development within the framework of a model of &#8220;integral cooperation for development&#8221; linking official development assistance, private investment, and humanitarian assistance.]]></p></abstract>
