UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Engages with UNHCR Ethiopia Team on Operational Priorities and National Alignment
The newly appointed UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Ozonnia Ojielo, engaged with UNHCR Ethiopia’s leadership and staff for a high‑level strategic exchange focused on operational priorities, national alignment, and the evolving displacement landscape in Ethiopia.UNHCR’s senior leadership presented an overview of the Agency’s operational footprint, key priorities, and the challenges shaping humanitarian and protection work across the country. UNHCR currently operates in ten field locations across major refugee‑hosting regions—including Gambella, Somali Region, Benishangul‑Gumuz, and the northern border areas—supporting 30 refugee sites and camps as well as a significant urban refugee population in Addis Ababa.Ethiopia continues to host around 1.1 million refugees, primarily from South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea. The team highlighted the continued shift toward community‑based and refugee‑led approaches, strengthened partnerships with local organizations, and deeper alignment with national priorities and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.UNHCR leadership also underscored the importance of Ethiopia’s evolving legal environment, which is expanding refugees’ access to services, documentation, and economic opportunities—an essential enabler of longer‑term inclusion. Advancing Inclusion and Government‑Led ApproachesUNHCR emphasized the central role of the government‑led refugee inclusion agenda, the increasing importance of the humanitarian–development nexus, and the need to strengthen national systems and infrastructure in refugee‑hosting areas to achieve sustainable solutions.The briefing highlighted the volatile regional context and climate‑related shocks that continue to drive diverse and large‑scale displacement into Ethiopia. Each operation area presents its own combination of access, security, and logistical constraints.UNHCR also presented the severity of current funding challenges and stressed the need for diversified and less‑restricted financing, including enhanced engagement with private‑sector partners. Efforts to increase efficiency—such as inter‑agency collaboration through shared offices, joint procurement, and common services—were also outlined.Strengthening Regional and Development PartnershipsUNHCR highlighted its growing partnerships with the African Union, UNECA, and other regional actors working on peace and security, migration governance, and socio‑economic inclusion. Joint efforts are underway to integrate refugees into national statistical and identity systems and to advance solutions to prevent statelessness.The team emphasized the importance of elevating displacement issues on continental platforms and promoting the recognition of refugees as contributors to national development—not only as recipients of humanitarian assistance. Toward System‑Wide ChangeThe UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator commended UNHCR’s extensive work and reaffirmed the central importance of its protection mandate. He emphasized the need for the UN system to adapt to a changing global financing landscape by strengthening government alignment, deepening collaboration with development partners, and moving toward integrated, scalable solutions instead of fragmented interventions.While recognizing UNHCR’s leadership in several areas, Ozonnia noted that Ethiopia’s complex challenges require even more coherent, ambitious, and system‑wide collaboration. He reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with UNHCR to strengthen coordination, financing, and strategic engagement. UN Ethiopia Head engagement with staff Engaging directly with UNHCR staff, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator emphasized their essential role in driving results and delivering meaningful impact across the UN’s humanitarian and development efforts. He expressed his commitment to continued engagement to support their well‑being and to help foster a more enabling and conducive working environment.

UN Ethiopia Head underlines coherence, strategic investment to drive impact in high-level engagements with UNDP and IOM teams
The United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator engaged with IOM and UNDP teams with a focus on ensuring a more coherent, strategic, and investment-oriented UN presence in the country. The discussions highlighted the need for system-wide transformation, upstream engagement, and integrated programming aligned with Ethiopia’s national development priorities.During the meeting with IOM Ethiopia’s Chief of Mission, Ms. Abibatou Wane‑Fall, and her senior team, IOM’s broad operational reach and the strategic pillars of its 2025–2029 country programme were outlined: Saving lives and protecting people on the move; driving solutions to displacement and facilitating pathways for regular migration. The Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator commended IOM’s operational scale and its focus on integrated, long-term solutions, noting that many protracted humanitarian settings in Ethiopia require development-oriented interventions, not only emergency response. He encouraged IOM to strengthen its upstream work on reintegration, return, and migration governance.Ozonnia also underscored the need for coherent UN messaging, stronger coordination on durable solutions, and improved financing approaches that bridge the humanitarian-development divide.Strengthening system leadership and portfolio-based transformationThe United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator also met with Mr. Sam Doe, Resident Representative and his senior leadership team. In the meeting, UNDP presented its new Country Programme Document (CPD), shaped by extensive consultations, lessons from past programme cycles, and alignment with the Common Country Analysis and UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework. UNDP emphasized its shift from fragmented, project-based implementation toward portfolio-based programming, designed to maximize coherence, scale, and transformational impact.UNDP’s programming pillars include governance and peacebuilding; inclusive economic transformation; climate, resilience, and energy; and policy and macroeconomic advisory.The Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator welcomed the strong alignment between UNDP’s strategic orientation and his vision for a more upstream, integrated UN development response. He emphasized that UNDP plays a central integrator role, uniquely positioned to help unify the UN system around financing strategies, structural transformation, and policy leadership. He reiterated that the UN must shift from a funding model to a financing model, where interventions act as catalysts for large-scale investment from government, IFIs, and private sector partners. He encouraged UNDP to support system-wide efforts to improve coherence, strengthen joint programming, and develop bankable projects capable of attracting substantial financing.

Hiwot’s journey from Malnutrition to Recovery
In My Mesanu, a small Kebele in Tigray Region, Hiwot Tesfay joins a line of women making their way toward the Health Center, some carrying children on their backs, others visibly pregnant, all waiting for their turn to be screened and receive food supplies. Hiwot and her family of six are struggling with food insecurity. Her husband works as a daily labourer, but opportunities are scarce, sometimes he finds work, and sometimes he does not.Before receiving assistance, Hiwot often felt exhausted. “I went for pre-screening, and they identified me as malnourished,” says Hiwot. Her young daughter Merhawit, was also screened and found to be malnourished, and together they began receiving nutritional support from WFP. Despite decades of progress, malnutrition remains one of Ethiopia’s most pressing challenges. Nationally, 36.6 percent of children under five are stunted, 7.2 percent wasted, and 21.1 percent underweight. Malnutrition has far-reaching consequences for individuals, families, and communities in Ethiopia. For children, undernutrition leads to stunting, wasting, and being underweight, which impair physical growth, weaken immunity, and increase vulnerability to disease. For mothers, malnutrition increases the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, while limiting their ability to care for their households. At the community level, malnutrition perpetuates poverty by lowering workforce productivity and straining health systems.WFP’s targeted nutrition program in Tigray Region is designed to reach the most vulnerable households, identified through screenings and vulnerability assessments. By providing specialized food rations, WFP is helping families like Hiwot’s recover from malnutrition and regain strength. After being diagnosed with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), Hiwot and her daughter received nutritious blends designed to help them regain strength.For Hiwot, the assistance has been life changing. The regular screenings at the health post reassure her that his progress is being closely monitored, and she feels less alone in her struggle. “The doctors here gave me and my daughter an appointment paper for treatment, and then we received supplementary food.” Says Hiwot. With the nutrition support, she has been able to continue caring for her household. She remembers how the numbers slowly changed, each visit marking progress “With each visit, I saw the number on my MUAC scale rise higher, so did my daughter’s numbers. Slowly, both me and my child became stronger.” She adds with relief. Today, Hiwot speaks with relief and renewed energy. WFP’s nutrition support has restored her strength, and her daughter Merhawit is growing healthier with each passing month. For Hiwot, these changes are more than physical, they are a promise of a stronger future.

Thriving Beyond Barriers
Kibra, 15, of Ethiopia has lived with her disability for as long as she can remember. Growing up in Abi-Adi, a town in the Tigray region, whenever she would go outside she would have to lean on something for support. "It was difficult for me to walk long distances," she says.Friends helped her get to and from school. But Kibra's disability made it challenging for her to participate fully in classroom activities — and to learn.That all changed thanks to an assistance programme implemented by IHS Ethiopia, a local NGO, in collaboration with UNICEF. Called the Inclusive Education Initiative, the project funded by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) aims to promote equitable access to quality education for children with disabilities and other vulnerable groups in Tigray, where conflict has disrupted livelihoods, leaving many families, Kibra's included, in economic straits."My teachers understood my interest in education and registered me [for the programme]," Kibra says. Soon after she was introduced to a social worker, Mikal, who helped her secure financial support amounting to ETB 10,500 ($67) and other benefits, including school supplies and a wheelchair.The interventions have kept her hopes alive, she says, making an academic career possible, and perhaps someday, a job at a bank. Her school attendance and classroom participation have both improved dramatically, and teachers describe her one of the most dedicated and disciplined students in her class."I dream of living independently in the future, without depending on others," Kibra says. "For others with disabilities like me, I want to help them by saying: Be strong, work hard, study and learn," Kibra says in the video. "I also want to convey this message: Don't lose hope."UNICEF works to ensure that children with disabilities and their families have access to community-based services and support, wherever they may live, in times of stability as well as in humanitarian emergencies.By Maryanne Buechner and Raphael Pouget

The Health Center now has access to water sources while sanitation facilities are added to it. Aeriya Qeyissa Primary School is expanded to have 13 new blocks which include, administration building, library and book store, kitchen, cafeteria, classrooms (4), early childhood classroom, toilets (3), and guard house while the laboratory and store block have been fully rehabilitated.Both facilities are expected to directly benefit over 55,000 community members in Hamer Woreda, South Omo zone. The expanded health facility offers upgraded healthcare services to address the needs of a community affected by climate change, while the Aeriya Qeyissa Primary School enhancements include improved student feeding pace, water accessibility, and hygiene services benefiting more than 800 children.The 3-year project, funded by the Government of Italy through AICS with a €7.6 million grant (out of which €3 million dedicated to South Omo, Hamer Woreda), addresses critical health and education challenges in this climate-vulnerable region. All infrastructures have been designed to be gender-sensitive and accessible for persons with disabilities and all community members, and has reliable energy through solar power, ensuring uninterrupted services and a cleaner energy future.The school project directly addressed severe challenges in the Aeriya Qeyissa area, where students previously learned in overcrowded classrooms or outdoors under trees, and communities lacked access to clean water, sanitation, and reliable energy, which hindered education and health-seeking behaviors.Speaking at the inauguration, H.E. Sem Fabrizi, Ambassador of Italy to Ethiopia, stated: "Italy is proud to work with Ethiopia authorities and communities in expanding access to essential services for the most vulnerable communities. Our partnership with UNOPS and regional authorities reflects a shared commitment to strengthening health systems, improving education, and promoting inclusive development. This partnership is designed to deliver lasting benefits and to support Ethiopia’s efforts towards a more resilient and equitable future."Commenting on the inauguration, the Head of AICS’ Addis Ababa, Michele Morana, said that these newly inaugurated facilities are “a tangible demonstration of Italy’s commitment to supporting Ethiopia’s development priorities. By investing in health and education in climate-vulnerable regions like South Omo, we aim to strengthen community resilience, improve quality of life, and create opportunities for future generations. Collaboration with UNOPS and local authorities ensures that these interventions are sustainable, inclusive, and responsive to the real needs of the people."Ms. Worknesh Mekonnen, UNOPS Multi-Country Director, added: "Access to quality basic services is fundamental to improving lives and building lasting development. These newly inaugurated facilities demonstrate what we can achieve together through strong partnerships. We are proud to have worked alongside the Government of Italy and the South Ethiopia regional government to deliver tangible improvements that will serve this community for years to come, reducing inequality and contributing to better health and education outcomes."The project's multi-sectoral approach integrates health, education, water, and energy to create sustainable impact. Today's inauguration in South Ethiopia follows the successful completion and inauguration of similar project in Chifra, Afar region in October 2025, where more than 36,000 beneficiaries, who have been affected by civil war in the northern Ethiopia, now have access to improved healthcare and education services, marking the full realization of Italy and UNOPS' broader initiative to strengthen health systems and support vulnerable populations across Ethiopia.[END] Notes to the editorsPress contact details: Giulia Bolognini: Head of the Press Office, Italian Embassy in Ethiopia, Email: addisabeba.pr@esteri.itMeron Aberra, Communication Officer, UNOPS, Tel: +251 911221060, Email: merons@unops.orgRoberto Capocelli, Communication Expert, AICS, Tel: +251 933565602, Email: roberto.capocelli@aics.gov.it

Restored Health and Water Services for Conflict-Affected Communities in Raya Alamata Woreda
Today, UNOPS has officially handed over rehabilitated health and WASH facilities to the community and local authorities in Raya Alamata Woreda, marking the successful completion of a critical recovery project for conflict-affected communities in Garjela and Tao kebeles.Funded by the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), this US$1 million project was implemented over 12 months, supporting more than 30,000 people with access to lifesaving health services and 1,462 individuals with improved access to safe water and sanitation.“This project represents a significant step in supporting the recovery and resilience of vulnerable populations in Alamata Woreda,” said Sonja Varga, UNOPS, Head of Program. “By restoring these essential services, we are helping to lay the foundation for healthier and more stable communities,” she added. The project was developed following a detailed needs assessment conducted in September 2024, which identified severe damage to infrastructure in the targeted kebeles due to conflict. The assessment highlighted looted and damaged health posts, destroyed water pumps, and compromised WASH facilities, creating urgent humanitarian needs.“CERF enables rapid, life-saving action that supports both immediate recovery and longer-term resilience in conflict-affected communities,” said Rosalind Crowther, Head of the Humanitarian Financing Unit, OCHA Ethiopia.Key outputs and impacts of the project include:1. Restored Essential Healthcare Access: The full rehabilitation and operationalization of two critical health facilities, the Gerjella Health Center and Tao Health Post has successfully restored reliable access to life-saving healthcare services for thousands of community members, removing a significant barrier to well-being.2. Ensuring Clean Water for Enhanced Public Health: The rehabilitation of institutional Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities at both health centers now ensures a dependable supply of potable water for medical staff and patients, directly elevating hygiene standards and reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases.3. Expanded Community Water Security: Rehabilitation of a key WASH facility in Tao Humo Kebele has re-established reliable, safe access to clean water for local households, strengthening daily life and improving the community’s overall resilience.4. Elevated Diagnostic and Treatment Capabilities: The provision of essential medical equipment to the rehabilitated health facilities has directly upgraded local diagnostic accuracy and treatment quality, ensuring community members receive higher-standard care without needing to travel long distances.5. Empowered Health Service Providers: By supplying new office furniture and critical IT equipment, the project has enhanced the operational capacity and professional environment for healthcare workers, enabling more efficient and effective service delivery.6. Accelerated Local Economic Recovery: Through its Cash for Work component, the project injected immediate capital into the local economy, providing vital income to participating community members while achieving essential infrastructure rehabilitations a dual benefit that spurred local recovery.7. Fostered Sustainable Community Ownership: The direct involvement of local residents in restoring their own health services has cultivated a strong sense of community ownership and responsibility for the rehabilitated facilities, a crucial factor in ensuring their long-term use and maintenance.The handover includes capacity-building support for the community structures, health facility professionals and WASH committees, local government administration offices for Health and Water, which will now be responsible for the ongoing management and maintenance of the facilities to ensure long-term sustainability.The project was implemented in close coordination with local community structures, stakeholders and aligned with broader recovery efforts.[ENDS]Notes to the editors:Press contact details:Meron Aberra, Communication Specialist, UNOPS, +251 911-221-060, Email: merons@unops.org About CERFEstablished 20 years ago, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) is the United Nations’ global emergency fund managed by UN-OCHA.
