Jointly, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and Germany reaffirmed their enduring partnership, committing to deepen cooperation on peace, regional integration, resilience, and sustainable development across the Horn of Africa.
The agreement was cemented during this year’s annual partnership dialogue in Djibouti, where officials reviewed progress in bilateral collaboration and explored ways to expand engagement in addressing the region’s security, economic, and social challenges.
Leading the IGAD delegation was Executive Secretary Workneh Gebeyehu, while the German side was represented by Germany’s ambassador to Djibouti.
The meeting reaffirmed a relationship stretching beyond three decades, with both parties underscoring the necessity of continued collaboration to confront persistent obstacles facing Horn of Africa nations.
Discussions centered on shared priorities, including bolstering peace and stability, enhancing community resilience, promoting regional economic integration, and supporting sustainable development initiatives.
The two delegations also examined avenues to deepen cooperation to address insecurity and improve economic and social conditions throughout IGAD member states.
IGAD thanked the German government and German taxpayers for their sustained support to the region, acknowledging their contribution to development programs and regional cooperation.
As the talks concluded, both sides reaffirmed their dedication to strengthening their strategic partnership and ensuring that cooperation delivers lasting benefits for the population of the Horn of Africa.
The annual dialogue remains a vital forum for IGAD and Germany to assess ongoing programs, align development priorities, and identify new cooperative opportunities amid ongoing political, security, and humanitarian challenges in the area.
Situated in Djibouti, IGAD unites eight Horn of Africa nations and neighboring regions, working on regional peace, security, economic collaboration, and development.
