It was a pleasure welcoming H.E. Nardos Bekele-Thomas, CEO AUDA-NEPAD, to the German Embassy. Germany looks forward to continuing the close and trusted partnership on Africa's development priorities.
Nardos BEKELE-THOMAS@nardosbthomas4h
Africa’s development priorities are clear. The challenge is translating them into projects that attract investment, create opportunities and deliver lasting economic transformation. That was central to my discussions in Addis Ababa with H.E. Ms Birgitt Ory, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Ethiopia and Permanent Representative to the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). Germany has been a longstanding partner of AUDA-NEPAD, supporting critical initiatives across infrastructure, energy, skills development, and agriculture. Our discussions focused on building on this foundation, with greater emphasis on mobilising private investment, developing bankable infrastructure projects, strengthening regional energy connectivity, advancing climate-resilient agriculture and expanding opportunities for Africa’s young people. The next phase of our partnership must move beyond traditional development assistance towards investment-driven cooperation that strengthens African institutions and accelerates the implementation of our continental development priorities. By connecting Germany’s technical expertise and investment capabilities with Africa’s development ambitions, we can create new pathways for sustainable growth, regional integration and economic opportunity across the continent. #AUDANEPAD #AfricaGermany #Agenda2063 #InvestInAfrica #SustainableDevelopment

The urgency in numbers across Africa 💸 $42 Billion: The financing gap facing women-owned businesses. 💻 30% vs 45%: Women’s internet usage compared to men's—the digital gateway to finance & new markets. ​Unlocking this potential is an economic imperative!

Norms and economics are deeply connected. ​When a woman controls her own income, account, and business, she gains the agency to challenge stereotypes and push past systemic barriers herself. Moving from diagnosis to concrete action is key. David Gudisch @GerEmbAddis #WYFEI2030 #Agenda2063 #EgumeniDialogue

The UN Global Emergency Fund #CERF supports rapid humanitarian response for conflict-affected communities in Northern 🇪🇹. This complements ongoing relief efforts by the 🇪🇹 Disaster Risk Management Commission in Tigray & Afar. 🇩🇪 remains a steadfast & reliable donor to the CERF.

Escalating hostilities and renewed insecurity are deepening the humanitarian crisis in northern Ethiopia.

I’ve allocated $8.5M from UN’s Global Emergency Fund CERF to help humanitarians move fast, with shelter, health and nutrition, protection, water and sanitation services.

Youth must be the beneficaries of the digital transformation. They need opportunities to design and shape it. That is why AU initiatives such as the 'Digital Fellowship' + 'Innovation Lab' connect young digital talent directly with the AU. @GIZAfricanUnion @BMZ_Bund #InnoFest26
