''The new partnership outlines several priority areas. In health and trauma recovery, the institutions will integrate trauma-informed, survivor-centred approaches into Mekelle University’s medical curricula and conduct joint research on the physical, mental, and spiritual impacts of GBV.

In religion, culture, and social transformation, the collaboration will focus on faith-sensitive responses to survivors of conflict-related sexual violence in Tigray and reframe cultural and religious narratives that contribute to stigma. Efforts will also extend to gender and community engagement, with initiatives aimed at faith communities and community-led stigma reduction campaigns.

The MoU further covers migration and displacement, with research on GBV in displacement contexts and policy recommendations to integrate spiritual care into humanitarian responses. The partnership envisions student-led media projects amplifying survivor voices, advancing religious reform, and highlighting safeguarding best practices in communication and education.''

After exactly two years of a genocidal war, the TPLF and the Federal Government signed a ceasefire agreement in Pretoria in November 2022. As part of the agreement, both parties…
