Japan is expected to offer 10 billion dollars in aid for African countries to tackle climate change over the next five years, local media reported Sunday.
The aid program is to be announced by Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development scheduled for late May.
The Japanese government has been deliberating on the feasibility of doubling official development assistance to Africa over the next five years, said the reports, citing government sources.
