December 18, 2023, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs of Ethiopia and Gallaudet University in Washington DC. It seeks to advance the empowerment and inclusion of people with disabilities, particularly those who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind.

Both parties reaffirmed that the MoU is evidence of shared commitment to building a more inclusive, equitable, and accessible society where people with disabilities can live with dignity and enjoy their human rights as well as contribute to the social and economic advancement of their respective nations.
It is believed that signing the MoU represents a major advancement in the collaborative efforts to build a society that is more accessible and inclusive of people with disabilities.
The partnership will serve as a model and inspiration for other universities and institutions to follow and join in this noble cause

The recent negotiations are being conducted following the Joint Statement by H.E. Prime Minister, Dr. Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia, and President Abdel Fatah el Sisi of Egypt on 13 July 2023, to initiate expedited negotiation to finalize the guidelines and rules on the first filling and annual operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).

The Ministerial meeting will build on the discussions of the previous sessions and technicals group meeting of yesterday and continue efforts to achieve convergence.
Ethiopia is guided by the 2015 Declaration of Principles (DoP) on the GERD Project. In particular, Ethiopia will continue to advocate for consensual outcomes based on the principle of equitable and reasonable utilization of the waters of the Nile.
