International Co-operation and Development Commissioner Neven Mimica (pictured) visited Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 22 July, where he met with African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, to sign a new EU funding package for the African Peace Facility.

During his visit, Commissioner Mimica also signed a €36 million budget support contribution to support Ethiopia's green growth, and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The bulk of the EU's contribution, €33m in budget support, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from forestry and industry.

An additional €3m will enhance the country's measurement, reporting and verification systems, making them compliant with Paris Agreement standards. The Commissioner also met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to discuss ongoing reforms in the country and in the region. He also met UNSG Special Representative for the Horn of Africa Parfait Oninga.
