The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) today donated vehicles to support COVID19 response in Ethiopia.
“We are gathered here today to extend our hand of solidarity in response to an appeal by the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) for support in their COVID-19 response activities,” said Carlos Haddad who heads the Division of Administration at the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). He was speaking during a ceremony to handover two 30 seater Nissan Civilian buses to the EPHI on 24 December 2020 in Addis Ababa – as part of a wider United Nations support to COVID-19 efforts in the country.
“Combating COVID-19 requires us all – governments, individuals and organizations from across industries and sectors to work together. ECA is pleased, therefore, to provide the EPHI with these vehicles for use in COVID-19 emergency response, as we all pray for the end of the pandemic,” said Mr. Haddad.
