The first, valued at $7.7 million, will support humanitarian and development assistance, with a focus on Ethiopia\u2019s Humanitarian Response Plan, the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, and the Resilient, Recovery, and Reconstruction Framework (3RF). The initiatives will be carried out in partnership with several UN agencies, including IOM, UNDP, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNIDO, UNMAS, UNOCHA, WHO, and Education Cannot Wait (ECW).<\/p>\n<p>The second component, amounting to $7.3 million, will fund projects that incorporate Japanese innovation and technology to address economic and social challenges such as infrastructure development, women and youth empowerment, and sustainable urbanization. The UN said these projects are designed to \u201cleverage Japan\u2019s expertise\u201d while also supporting Ethiopia\u2019s development priorities ahead of the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Ethiopia, described the contribution as \u201cvital in addressing the country\u2019s urgent humanitarian needs and long-term development challenges.\u201d He added that Japan\u2019s support has been \u201cinstrumental in building resilience\u201d and demonstrates a \u201cshared commitment to improving the lives of the most vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s contribution comes at a time when Ethiopia faces challenges due to the suspension of U.S. foreign assistance, which has disrupted several humanitarian programs, including support for the country\u2019s HIV\/AIDS response. The Joint United Nations Program on HIV\/AIDS (UNAIDS) warned that the aid freeze, issued under a directive by U.S. President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, threatens services for over 270,000 people, particularly in Addis Ababa, Oromia, and Gambella regions.<\/p>\n<p>According to UNAIDS, the pause in U.S. assistance has resulted in the closure of drop-in centers and the termination of outreach workers supporting vulnerable communities. It also noted that \u201ccritical delays\u201d in the supply of HIV testing kits and antiretroviral drugs are affecting Ethiopia\u2019s healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p>The aid suspension includes a stop-work order on existing grants and a freeze on new foreign aid expenditures, although a waiver issued on January 28 by Secretary of State Marco Rubio allows \u201clife-saving humanitarian assistance\u201d to continue during the 90-day review period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ethiopia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
