Getachew Reda, Minister Adviser for East African Affairs, took part in the Global Development Initiative (GDI) High-Level Dialogue held on the sidelines of the UNGA 81. In his intervention, the Minister underscored the critical importance of revitalizing global partnerships for sustainable development as the world approaches the final stretch toward the 2030 Agenda. Getachew highlighted the Global Development Initiative (GDI) as a practical, results-oriented partnership that can help accelerate SDG implementation and translate shared commitments into tangible development outcomes. He also emphasized the importance of prioritizing key transitions with catalytic and multiplier effects across the SDGs, particularly in poverty eradication, energy, food systems, finance, digital transformation, education, and climate action. Equally important, he noted, is the need to draw on the comparative advantages, experiences, and successes of country-led initiatives, strengthening cooperation and learning from solutions that are delivering results on the ground. He concluded by stressing that stronger partnerships, shared solutions, and renewed commitment are essential to accelerating progress toward the 2030 Agenda.
