Ethiopia: 1.8 million USD Japan Government’s finance in WHO local program

The Government of Japan, through its embassy in Ethiopia, has pledged a significant sum of over 1.8 million USD to bolster health and nutrition services and support infrastructure rehabilitation in Northern Ethiopia. This commitment, announced in a grant document released recently reflects Japan’s dedication to addressing critical health challenges in Ethiopia. The collaborative effort between the Japanese Embassy and the WHO Country Office in Ethiopia aims to enhance response capacities for cholera, measles, and malaria outbreaks in Ethiopia’s Tigray, Afar, and Amhara regions. The initiative encompasses a range of activities, including the distribution of medical supplies, drugs, and kits, outbreak response capacity building, and the rehabilitation of selected health facilities.
