Excellence, Mesdames et Messieurs,

Merci de participer à cette conférence internationale sur le relèvement après

l'Ebola.

La tâche qui nous attend est immense: il

s'agit de concrétiser nos promesses de

solidaritéconcrete, tournés vers

l'action.

Je vous demande de vous joindre à moi pour apporter un soutien durable aux populations despays

touchés par l'Ebola.

Let me begin by thanking the many donors who have e together, along with governments,civil society organizations, national and international responders, development banks andfoundations, as part of a broad-

based global coalition to support the nationally-led responseefforts.

I applaud the African Union and its plan to convene an International Conference on Africa'sFight against Ebola later this month in Malabo.

I mend the African Union for galvanizing African leaders, businesses and munities insolidarity with the affected countries. This regional unity has been

essential to bringing theoutbreak under control – and will be critical to effective recovery. I mend the morethan 800 African volunteers who deployed through the AU Ebola support mechanism.

I also thank the countries that answered my call to send in logistical support, medical teams,crisis managers and aid for safe and dignified burials.

Thousands of women and men from within and outside the countries put their lives on the lio slow the advance of this disease.

Thanks to these partners – and too many others to name – we have e a long way incontaining the outbreak.
