🌟 ❤️A significant signature for the protection of migrants: In May 2024, 33,685 migratory movements were observed in Djibouti (according to IOM), which equals an average of 1,087 per day, with most migrants coming from Ethiopia. Aware of their vulnerability, the Network for Better Migration Management (Réseau Associatif Meilleure Gestion Migratoire, MGM) provides them with essential basic services, including food, housing and healthcare. “Sometimes we simply hand them our mobile phones so that they can call their families and let them know that they are still alive”, reports one of the volunteers. With the support of the Better Migration Management Programme, coordinated by GIZ Ethiopia and Djibouti and funded by the European Union and the German Government, 17 civil society organisations in Djibouti joined forces to form the network. 🤝💪 An important milestone has now been reached with the signing of a legal document in the presence of a representative of the judiciary, ensuring the legal recognition of the MGM 🖋️📜. This will strengthen our collective efforts and enable us to provide effective assistance to those in need. #JourneyOfChange #migrationnmanagement #migrantrights #endhumantrafficking  

The Response to Survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (RSSGBV) project together with its partner the Ethiopian Psychologists' Association (EPA) recently conducted a Training of Trainers program on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. From June 10-15, 2024, the project brought together 28 frontline workers from Afar, Amhara, Tigray, and Addis Ababa regions. Participants engaged in an intensive 6-day programme led by the international GBV/MHPSS expert Serena Thomas, focusing on psychological techniques, self-care, staff care, and peer supervision. This initiative aligns with RSSGBV's goal of strengthening high-quality, needs-based and survivor-centred SGBV response in Ethiopia. By enhancing local capacity, the project aims to address the complex challenges faced by SGBV survivors and improve access to essential support services. The RSSGBV project, implemented by GIZ Ethiopia and Djibouti , continues to work alongside partners like the EPA, Norwegian Church Aid Ethiopia, and Act Church of Sweden (Act CoS) to create lasting change in SGBV response and prevention.  The RSSGBV project is implemented on behalf of the German Government.
