Tefera Arega

Tefera is a program officer in the Ethiopian Natural History Society. As part of the
projects he develops, he takes steps to ensure the participation of women and
girls. He previously worked for the Ministry of Water and Energy on the
environment and climate change and on environmental and social impact
assessments in Ethiopia.

He has been an ongoing advocate of GESI. As a gender focal point at the
Eastern Nile Technical Regional Office (ENTRO), Tefera worked to encourage the
participation of women. He believes it is important as men to work toward the
improvement of policies that favor the equal participation of women.

I will strive again and again to uplift the
benefit of women in the water sector.
