Mozambique’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Verónica Macamo is in New York from this Monday until next Wednesday, where she will participate in the United Nations’ High-level Pledging Event on the Central Emergency Response Fund 2024.
The UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Martin Griffiths are expected to deliver remarks.
Verónica Macamo will be one of the speakers at the meeting in the UN headquarters, and will address the humanitarian situation in Mozambique and the Mozambican government’s commitment in response to the devastation caused by natural disasters generated by the global phenomenon of climate change.
Since its creation in 2006, the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has provided humanitarian aid to Mozambique estimated at over US$122 million, with emphasis on the recent donation of US$16 million to assist the victims of Cyclone Freddy and this year’s cholera outbreak.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) will convene a high-level pledging event on the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for 2024 in New York on Wednesday, 6 December, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (EST).
