Getachew stated on his X account
“Today I met & held discussion with Ms. Sheena Sen Gupta, @UNICEF Global Director of Child Protection here in #Mekelle. Ms. Gupta was here in Tigray to visit UNICEF activities in the region and exchange views with regional officials on how to better coordinate her organization’s efforts in various areas of endeavor including GBV, health and sanitation as well as nutrition as relates mainly to children and women. She also expressed her organization’s readiness to further enhance its support for IDPs. She also expressed her appreciation of the resilience that tigrayan women displayed even in the face of extreme adversity and vowed to explore ways of supporting programs that focus on improving livelihoods apart of routine humanitarian interventions. I took the opportunity to express our Administration’s appreciation of UNICEF’s stellar performance in most of the activities it has undertaken in Tigray and called on her to help scale up some of the successful models. I also expressed our government’s commitment to continue to work closely with the UNICEF and other organizations currently operating in Tigray.”
