  • Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization
    WELCOME ADDRESSES Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was elected as WHO Director-General for a five-year term by WHO Member States at the Seventieth World Health Assembly in May 2017. He is the first WHO Director-General to have been elected from multiple candidates by the World Health Assembly, and is the first person from the WHO African Region to serve as WHO’s chief technical and administrative officer. Immediately after taking office on 1 July 2017 Dr Tedros outlined five key priorities for the Organization: universal health coverage; health emergencies; women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health; health impacts of climate and environmental change; and a transformed WHO. Prior to his election as WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros served as Ethiopia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2012–2016. In this role he led efforts to negotiate the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, in which 193 countries committed to the financing necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Dr Tedros served as Ethiopia’s Minister of Health from 2005–2012, where he led a comprehensive reform of the country’s health system. All roads lead to universal health coverage for Dr Tedros, and he has demonstrated what it takes to expand access to health care with limited resources. The transformation he led as Ethiopia’s Minister of Health improved access to health care for millions of people. Under his leadership Ethiopia invested in critical health infrastructure, expanded its health workforce, and developed innovative health financing mechanisms. Beyond Ethiopia, Dr Tedros’ global leadership on malaria, HIV/AIDS, and maternal and child health has been immensely impactful.

As of December 2008, Indonesia (CWS) there were a total of 350 recognized refugees in Indonesia, 353 asylum seekers and 19 other persons of concern under temporary protection. These persons of concern had arrived from Iraq, and originated from 14 different countries. Of the recognized refugees, the three most common countries of origin were Iraq (53 percent), Sri Lanka (22 percent), and Afghanistan (11 percent). BUDGET Somalia is also a significant country of origin (14 percent of total in 2007). 2008: US $ 12,000 2009: US $ 22,500 The majority of the refugees and asylum seekers are adult males between the ages of 18 and 59, and they comprise 63 percent of all persons of concern. Adult women comprise only eight percent. These figures show that unaccompanied men (i.e. single men or those traveling without their family) make up the majority of those seeking refuge via ocean routes in the direction of Indonesia. There are also 128 youth (between 5-17 years old), some of which were born to refugees or asylum seekers in Indonesia, and 32 refugee children aged between 0-4 years.

  • After the Boats Have Stopped
    refugee council of australia brief AFTER THE BOATS HAVE November 2018 STOPPED: Asher Hirsch Refugees stranded in Indonesia and Australia’s containment policies There are over 14,000 refugees living in limbo in Indonesia. Many came to Indonesia seeking to reach Australia or be resettled to another safe country. However, since the beginning of Australia’s Operation Sovereign Borders in 2013, and the reduction of reset- tlement options, many have found themselves stranded, without basic rights. There are few solutions for refugees in Indonesia. While refugees are able to stay on a temporary basis, Indonesia does not allow refugees to settle down and build a new life. Refugees in Indonesia are not allowed to work, have only minimal healthcare or social support, and may face arbitrary detention and destitution. Many refugees face prolonged delays as they wait for resettlement, and without any longer-term solutions on the horizon, some may feel there is no viable alternative but to return home, even where they will face danger. Every week, hundreds of refugees and asylum seekers demon- This brief provides an overview of Australia’s role in stopping ref- strate in front of the UNHCR building in Makassar, Sulawesi, de- ugees leaving Indonesia en route to Australia, and highlights the manding a fair resettlement process.
