In order to support host communities for refugees in Ethiopia, Uganda, and other countries in the region, as well as to broaden the scope of humanitarian aid provided to populations in conflict-affected countries, the UAE International Aid Agency has signed a cooperation agreement with the Norwegian Refugee Council.
Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Rashid Salem Al Shamsi, Executive Director of Logistics Support at the UAE Aid Agency, signed the agreement in front of Fatema Khamis Salem Khalfan Al Mazrouei, UAE Ambassador to Norway.
Dr. Al Ameri reaffirmed “the UAE’s commitment to supporting refugees who have been forcibly displaced from their homes in East Africa due to ongoing conflicts, which represent some of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.” This agreement will guarantee the prompt and efficient delivery of vital humanitarian assistance while also lessening the suffering of those impacted.
In addition to protecting vulnerable groups, such as women and children, he emphasized the agreement’s use of the Norwegian Refugee Council’s operational expertise to assist displaced people and provide basic services, including shelter, clean water, sanitation, and education.
