@ZMilisic
WFP Country Director in Ethiopia; @WFP and @UN for the past 30 years.
WFP is airdropping emergency food to families in #SouthSudan’s Upper Nile State, where conflict has forced 50,000+ people to flee to 🇪🇹 In #Gambella, @WFP is providing fortified biscuits & life-saving nutrition support to children, pregnant & breastfeeding women to new arrivals.
In #Amhara region, the @WFP e-voucher programme enables mothers to purchase fresh, local & nutritious foods, helping them and their children recover from malnutrition. This innovative approach to tackling malnutrition is possible thanks to support from the 🇬🇧 UK @FCDOGovUK
.@WFP & partners promote self-reliance & support both refugee & host communities to form business cooperatives. This is key for developing #refugee livelihoods, empowering women & social cohesion. See how Sadiya & women in her community are building entrepreneurial skills…⬇️
Ending hunger requires more than just food systems — it demands people, partnerships & presence. Today I had a very productive discussion with @ndunguciiru from @UNV_ESARO on how we can mobilize more skilled #volunteers to strengthen food security efforts in Ethiopia 🇪🇹.
Honoured to be launching our joint project to strengthen agricultural monitoring systems with H.E. Shibata Hironori of @JapanEthiopia in #somali region. In collaboration with @NEC we’re excited to kick off this venture to promote agricultural productivity & climate resilience!
Thank you @KfW_int Country Director for visiting @WFP’s resilience-building projects & witnessing the difference they’re making to communities in #Somali region. I am most proud of @WFP_Ethiopia’s partnership with Germany to build sustainable livelihoods & change lives in 🇪🇹.
With support from @BMZ_Bund @GerEmbAddis & @KfW_int, @WFP is working to build the resilience of pastoralist communities in #Ethiopia’s #Somali region through climate-smart solutions, irrigation schemes & savings groups. Hear from Jonas Dylla, KfW Country Director for Ethiopia ▶️

"I want a solution for our children." Zeinab & her family are some of the 100,000+ refugees from #Sudan that we support in #Ethiopia. We urge the international community to provide more support for food & nutrition assistance to Sudanese refugees & their host communities.
The World Food Programme do extraordinary lifesaving work on the frontlines of the humanitarian effort. Joined their Exec Board meeting from DRC, where I’ve seen the impact. Thanks to @WFPChief for her leadership, and to brilliant @WFP colleagues.
Thank you @JoshuaTabah for your incredible leadership of the Humanitarian Donor Group over the past six months. Looking forward to working with @DarrenWelchFCDO and the HRDG for continued focus on changing lives in #Ethiopia.
After chairing the Humanitarian Donor group in 🇪🇹 for the last 6 months, we have passed the baton to @DarrenWelchFCDO and his team @UKinEthiopia. 🇨🇦's objective was to reinvigorate partnerships within the community, while leading joint Ambassador field visits with key partners…
The UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2025–2030 signed between the government of Ethiopia & @UNEthiopia today marks a new and enhanced collaboration to support national priorities and help achieve Sustainable Dev't Goals (#SDGs) in #Ethiopia 🇪🇹 .
On #WorldRefugeeDay we reaffirm our collective responsibility in assisting & welcoming #refugees. @RRSEthiopia & host communities have long offered refugees safety & dignity in 🇪🇹. Hear how @WFP is meeting the needs of those fleeing #SouthSudan:
WFP serves hot & nutritious school meals to refugee students in #Ethiopia. We remain committed to ensuring refugee children receive school meals daily & have the opportunity to learn, grow, & reach their full potential. Hear more from the students in the Hilawyen camp #WFD2025
In Benishangul region, @WFP is supporting refugees from #Sudan with cash assistance to complement the food assistance they receive. This gives refugee families the choice to cover any immediate needs & buy fresh food. Hear more from my colleague Frederick: #WorldRefugeeDay2025
#DYK #Ethiopia is the 2nd largest refugee-hosting country in #Africa, hosting 1 million refugees? As we approach #WorldRefugeeDay, I’ll be sharing some examples of how @WFP_Ethiopia supports refugees to meet their most immediate food needs & build self-reliance. Stay tuned!
