Earlier today in Djibouti, I hosted the IGAD–Germany Strategic Partnership Dialogue with the German delegation, led by H.E. Frank Neumann, Germany’s Ambassador to Djibouti and Julia Hannig, Head of Division for the Horn of Africa, @BMZ_Bund. We discussed regional priorities, sustainable financing, project impact, and future IGAD–BMZ cooperation.
I reiterated IGAD’s commitment to partnerships that strengthen resilience, livelihoods, climate mobility, and regional institutions.

In a world of shifting power and growing uncertainty, peace demands more than crisis management. It requires lasting political solutions, inclusive dialogue and stronger multilateral cooperation.
Pleased to address the TRT World Forum in Istanbul, Türkiye, on the panel “A World Without a Centre.”
For the Horn of Africa, IGAD remains committed to advancing sustainable peace, regional stability and shared prosperity.

The last two days at the Eastern Africa Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action highlighted the need for stronger government ownership, predictable pre-arranged financing, and cross-border cooperation to link early action with long-term resilience.
This morning at the Ministerial segment, I urged Member States to endorse the Mombasa Ministerial Declaration on Anticipatory Action and turn these political commitments into concrete national results.
Forecasts must trigger timely action before disasters strikes. Together, we have a duty to transform risk into resilience; from early warning to early action.

Too often, warnings come before disasters, but resources arrive only after the damage is done. This must change.
Today in Mombasa, at the 2nd Eastern Africa Dialogue Platform on Anticipatory Action, officially opened by Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, H.E. @Kipmurkomen, I called for a decisive shift from early warning to early action, backed by predictable financing, stronger institutions and empowered communities.
Our success must be measured not by the disasters we respond to, but by the lives and livelihoods we protect before they strike.
