We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the esteemed participants and coordinators of the workshop on GBV Prevention and Response in the Horn of Africa. The insights shared by representatives from Plan International have provided valuable knowledge and expertise to further our collective mission of enhancing gender equality in the Somali region.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to Ambassador Tamara Mona of Switzerland to Ethiopia for visiting us and bringing this important project to our region. Your dedication and commitment to addressing gender-based violence and empowering women-led organizations (WLOs) are truly inspiring and essential in creating a safer and more equitable society. We would like to thank Plan International for their unwavering commitment to capacity building for us, the WLOs, which significantly enhances our ability to address these critical issues.
We also recognize the importance of fostering good collaboration between WLOs and government entities, which is vital for the success of these initiatives. As a women development and reliance organization, we acknowledge the critical role of donors in supporting these initiatives, particularly through projects tailored for WLOs in the Somali region. Your generosity and commitment to funding programs focused on gender transformation and institutional capacity .
Thank you for standing with us as we strive for equality and empowerment for all.
