Thank you Nardos Bekele-Thomas for our strong partnership and fruitful conversation on infrastructure and capacity development and on skills.
I held a constructive bilateral with @pickelbirgit of @BMZ_Bund on advancing Africa-Germany cooperation. We discussed aligning skills development with industrialisation, strengthening TVET systems, and ensuring that ODA transitions into catalytic investment for sustainable growth. We deeply appreciate the Government of Germany for its continued partnership and steadfast support of AUDA-NEPAD’s mission under #Agenda2063. #AUDA_NEPAD #BMZ #AfricaEuropePartnership #SkillsForIndustrialization

Danke #Africa.Table. Mit und für Afrika zu arbeiten heißt für mich, Chancen für uns alle zu heben – für eine sozial-ökologische Weltwirtschaft, für erneuerbare Energien und Energiezugang, für globale Nahrungssicherheit und Gesundheit. Und solidarisch in Krisen zu bleiben.
