Assistant Deputy Minister, Sub-Saharan Africa Branch, Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development

Mr. Chair, Canada does not provide its direct budget support to the Government of Ethiopia. It provides its international assistance to trusted international partners, such as the World Bank, and other partners, such as the ones that Tara was referring to. The money itself is going to the people in Tigray via these trusted partners. It does not go directly to the Government of Ethiopia.

I'll ask Ian if he wants to provide any further clarification.
