Grateful for the opportunity to engage the donor community in Addis 🇪🇹 this week ahead of #AUSummit2026 and to highlight the important milestones ahead for the HIV response and @UNAIDS in 2026, including the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AIDS.

We’ll be counting on your support for an ambitious Political Declaration—one that protects the gains made, safeguards and strengthens countries' sustainability of the HIV response, and accelerates progress toward ending AIDS by 2030. #EndAIDS

Ethiopia Pavilion Highlights Forest Leadership & Regional Climate Action at #COP30

In the final days of COP30, the Ethiopia Pavilion became a hub for dialogue, partnerships, and climate solutions hosting events on forest development, conservation, and wider climate action.

By opening the Pavilion to countries, institutions, and civil society, Ethiopia showcased its bold climate initiatives and strengthened collaboration with global partners.

The Pavilion also spotlighted Ethiopia’s regional leadership, presenting key outcomes from the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) and amplifying Africa’s unified voice on climate finance, adaptation, and green growth.

The ongoing violence against civilians in Sudan is alarming. DK & 25 countries condemn the atrocities and call for immediate cessation. Accountability must be upheld. Parties must respect IHL, ensure unimpeded humanitarian access and agree to a ceasefire. https://t.co/0MAIJIMfBS
