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.
