I attended and shared my thoughts at a consultative forum organized under the theme 'Social Development for Nation Building,' where major achievements in the social sector over the past years were presented.
Although social sector development, unlike other physical infrastructures does not yield immediate or tangible results, it lays a sustainable and critical foundation for the nation.
Despite current challenges, Ethiopia is being built at a rapid pace, faster than many realize. Even with our resource limitations, there is no social sector where improvement has not been attempted. However, since much work remains to translate our set goals into practice and ensure they achieve their purpose, we must stand together. Just as one hand cannot clap alone, the community must join in as a stakeholder alongside the government’s initiatives.
