Embassies and agencies have worked closely with the Ministry of Finance, as well as the

Ministry of Health and the Ethiopian Public Health Institute to address the crisis from the

outset.

Team Europe is also making important contributions to the World Health Organisation and the

wider UN system, demonstrating our continued support for multilateralism and underlining

the need for an integrated, effective and coherent global response to this pandemic.
Furthermore,  EU with Team Europe is contributing EUR 60 million to IGAD’s regional

coordination in supporting border facilities, continuity of health services, ensuring

critical supply chains for safe trade and promoting digital solutions for COVID-19 health
