IGAD at Hamburg: Deepening IGAD-Germany Cooperation
IGAD Executive Secretary, H.E. @DrWorkneh, today met with Mr. Volker J. Oel, Director General for the Horn of Africa at Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Discussions focused on strengthening the IGAD-Germany cooperation portfolio and identifying shared priorities to advance sustainable development, resilience, and livelihoods across the IGAD region.
Good exchange with Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua on advancing decent work and labour mobility between the EU and Kenya. I welcome Kenya’s commitment to ratify ILO Convention 87 in the coming months. @EUinKenya
Driving Transboundary Biodiversity Conservation in the Boma–Gambella Landscape 🌿
IGAD today launched the 1st Project Steering Committee Meeting for the Boma–Gambella Project in Juba, South Sudan, advancing regional cooperation on biodiversity conservation.
Bringing together Ethiopia and South Sudan, the project is strengthening transboundary dialogue and addressing coordination gaps across the shared ecosystem.
Building on the Biodiversity Management Programme, the meeting reviewed 2025 progress, key priorities, and aligned on next steps for implementation under a coordinated IGAD–APN work plan.

I believe that African voices must be at the center of climate finance decisions. We need solutions designed with our priorities in mind. The question I pose to my peers in NGOs, corporate sustainability, and international organizations is simple: Are we truly supporting Africa?
Arguably, Africa is the most climate-vulnerable region in the world, yet it receives barely one percent of global climate finance. I find this deeply concerning because the continent bears the heaviest burden of climate impacts.
In my view, Africa’s climate decisions are increasingly shaped by external capital and conditional frameworks rather than by the priorities of those directly affected. South Africa’s ongoing carbon tax debate illustrates this tension... .
Stronger systems. Faster response. Safer communities. 🌍🩺
Across Eastern and Southern Africa, IGAD is advancing health emergency preparedness through the Health Emergency Preparedness, Response and Resilience (HEPRR) Programme, working with Member States and partners to strengthen coordination, surveillance, and rapid response systems.
At the 3rd Regional Advisory Committee Meeting in Lusaka, Zambia, governments and partners came together to review progress, share lessons, and drive collective action for resilient health systems.
Preparedness today secures healthier, more resilient communities tomorrow.

assigning clear responsibility, and using real-time monitoring and routine problem-solving.
International climate summits can set direction and raise ambition. But they cannot replace functioning delivery systems.
Here is a tight, X-ready version that is direct, disciplined, and within long-post thread norms. It preserves your argument, removes repetition, and sharpens causality.
Ambitious climate pledges mean little without systems to follow through.
National commitments therefore do not translate into consistent action on the ground.
Closing this gap requires embedding delivery capacity from day one. That means diagnosing institutional weaknesses early, building durable coordination across core ministries,
