Former Ghanaian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Hanna Serwaa Tetteh, has been recognized for her role in supporting the peace process in Ethiopia. Ms. Tetteh currently serves as the United Nations (UN) Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa.

In a tweet on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, Ms. Tetteh expressed her gratitude to Ethiopia’s Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed Ali, for presenting her with a certificate of recognition. The certificate acknowledged her efforts in promoting peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia. Ms. Tetteh, however, stressed that the certificate is not just for her, but for the entire UN family in Ethiopia.

Ms. Tetteh served as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to the African Union and Head of the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU). Before that, she was the Director General of the United Nations Office at Nairobi.

She commended the Ethiopian government and political stakeholders for their commitment to the peace process, describing the country as beautiful. She wished them every success in their efforts.

All in all, Hanna Tetteh’s recognition for her work in Ethiopia demonstrates the important role that the UN plays in promoting peace and stability in conflict-affected countries. It is a reminder that peacebuilding is a collective effort that requires the involvement of all stakeholders.

Ms. Tetteh’s recognition is a testament to her dedication to promoting peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia, and we hope that her efforts will inspire others to join in the quest for lasting peace in the Horn of Africa.
