对于大多数普通的民众而言,泰格艾格奈瓦克·盖图这个名字或许并不算响亮。然而,在国际社会中,这位出生于埃塞俄比亚的联合国副秘书长却享有着很高的声望。
丰富多彩的职业生涯
1952年,泰格艾格奈瓦克·盖图生于埃塞俄比亚的亚的斯亚贝巴。纵观盖图已年愈古稀的人生,不难发现他职业生涯的丰富多彩——曾任职于联合国开发计划署、学术界以及政府和私营部门……
在加入联合国系统之前,盖图先生是哥伦比亚大学的研究员,罗彻斯特大学、亨特学院和亚的斯亚贝巴大学的助理教授和讲师。他还在埃塞俄比亚规划和经济发展部及私营部门工作过。他拥有哲学博士学位、哥伦比亚大学政治经济学硕士学位以及亚的斯亚贝巴大学发展管理学士学位。
1989年至1997年,盖图先生在设于津巴布韦的非洲结构调整咨询队担任过高级方案主管、副主任以及分管东部和南部非洲的高级经济师。1997年至1999年担任驻塞拉利昂和利比里亚代表,他还曾担任开发署非洲区域局负责南部非洲发展共同体(南共体)国家和印度洋国家的国家主任。
2003年至2006年,盖图担任联合国尼日利亚驻地协调员、联合国开发署尼日利亚驻地代表。在2006年至2009年担任开发署署长办公室主任和开发署执行办公室主任期间,盖图履行了开发署处于全球业务核心的战略职能。2009年起,盖图担任联合国助理秘书长,为开发署在非洲区域的活动提供了总体领导和战略思维。
三十多年来,盖图一直心系人类健康与福祉,为促进减贫付出了不懈的努力。而随之而来的也是越来越多的管理责任。这有助于他在联合国总部新的岗位上管理复杂的组织结构,在富有挑战性的环境中有效地领导各大部门。2013年3月25日,盖图被联合国秘书长潘基文任命担任联合国负责大会事务和会议管理的副秘书长,接替让·雅克·格雷斯先生开展工作。
促进中非合作
泰格艾格奈瓦克·盖图担任联合国副秘书长以后,不断加强与中国的交流与合作。其实,盖图先生与中国的友谊由来已久。2013年11月盖图曾访问中国广州,这已经是他第四次到中国了。也许是对中国有着特殊的感情,盖图对其古典音乐有着浓厚的兴趣,据说他最喜欢的中国乐队便是“女子十二乐坊”。不仅如此,盖图对中国经济也十分感兴趣,他在广州访问期间购买了大量的经济类书籍。他在接受中国媒体《羊城晚报》的采访时说,“中国是一个蓬勃发展的国家,经济一直处于上升之中,同时也形成了自身的经济发展模式,这个模式是我需要去研究的,也是值得世界其他国家学习的。”
为此,盖图在2013年11月8日人民大会堂举行的首届国际健康论坛开幕式致辞中呼吁合作,特别强调了要加强中非两国之间的交流与合作。其实,早在2010年盖图担任联合国助理秘书长、联合国开发计划署助理署长兼非洲局局长期间,他就曾与中国国际扶贫中心主任吴忠就共同推动南南合作,特别是中非减贫合作问题交换了意见。当时,盖图提出有关在非合作的建议,如建立“中非之窗”,利用联合国开发计划署在非洲的网络和平台支持中非交流与合作,把国际中心目前在非洲开展的各项研究、交流、培训及合作等分散的活动协调起来,拓展中非减贫交流与合作的领域。
加强国际合作,关注全球健康
“人们除了关心国与国之间及国家内部的发展,还特别关注全球健康问题,经济的发展并不等于同时保证了健康的发展。”盖图在2013年11月8日参加首届国际健康论坛的开幕式时这样说道。
据记者了解,“世界健康产业大会”是中国卫生部医疗保健国际交流促进会联合美国、俄罗斯、德国、日本、韩国、非洲等多个国家或地区相关机构共同发起的健康产业国际性会展活动。大会每年定期在世界卫生日期间开幕,由国际论坛、产品博览、公益活动三大部分组成,被国际媒体誉为全球健康产业的最高级别盛会。
盖图在致辞中鲜明提出,健康是全人类共同关注的目标,实现这个目标必然需要多部门、多国家合作,他希望全球各国政府、非政府组织、研究团体等,与联合国的相关组织一道开展国际化合作,为全人类的健康而努力。
“一个国家建立起一个和谐的社会,一个健康的社会,是头等重要的。健康对于社会、经济发展都起着举足轻重的作用,促进人类的健康是联合国组织最根本的重要任务之一。中国在这方面已经取得了巨大成功。而她的成功对于国际化策略和方针的确起到重要的启示作用,并翻开了新的国际合作篇章。”盖图如是说。
盖图还表示,联合国的一个重要功能就是充分地协调所有的国际组织,所有的成员国共同为全人类的健康而努力。政府组织、非政府组织以及联合国机构和学术研究团体等等应该共同来进行一次国际化的合作。人类的健康确实是一项长期的任务,虽然国际社会在健康方面已经取得了很大的成功。但是像环境的破坏、疾病的出现,对于全球的健康依然是一个巨大的挑战。
Rich and colorful career
In 1952, Tegegnework Gettu was born in Addis Ababa of Ethiopia. In retrospect, it’s not hard to find that his career has been rich and colorful -- serving at UNDP, academic field and private sector……
Before he joined the UN system, Mr. Gettu was a researcher at Columbia University, and an assistant professor and lecturer at the University of Rochester, Hunter College and Addis Ababa University. He also used to work in the Department of Planning and Economic Development of Ethiopia and the private sector. He has a PhD degree, Master degree of Socioeconomics from Colombia University and a Bachelor degree of Management in Development from Addis Ababa University. From 1989 to 1997, Mr. Gettu served as Senior Program Director, Deputy Chief, and Senior Economist in Charge of Eastern and Southern Africa in the Consulting Team of Structural Adjustment in Africa. From 1997 to 1999, he served as Acting Representative in Sierra Leone and Liberia, and Director of UNDP African Office, in charge of affairs of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Indian Ocean countries.
From 2003 to 2006, Gettu was the UN resident coordinator in Nigeria, and UNDP resident representative in Nigeria. From 2006 to 2009, Gettu served as the Office Director of UNDP’s head and Executive Office Director of UNDP and played the strategic role in UNDP’s core business in the world. Since 2009, Gettu has been the UN Assistant Secretary-General, providing the overall guidance and strategic thinking for UNDP’s activities in Africa.
Over the past 30 years, Gettu has been working unremittingly for the health and well-being of mankind and poverty alleviation. At the same time, he has got more and more responsibilities of management, which helps him to manage complicated institutional structure in his new position in UN headquarters, and lead various departments effectively in the challenging environment. On March 25, 2013, Gettu was appointed as Under-Secretary-General for the Assembly matters and conference management to replace Jean-Jacques Graisse.
Enhance Sino-African cooperation
Tegegnework Gettu has constantly enhanced cooperation between China and Africa. In fact, Mr. Gettu has had long friendship with China. In November, 2013, Gettu visited Guangzhou City, which was his fourth trip to China. Perhaps because of his special bond to China, Gettu is very fascinated in Chinese classical music and his favorite Chinese band is “12 Girls Band”. Moreover, Gettu is also very interested in China’s economy. During his visit to Guangzhou, he bought many economics books. When he was interviewed by Yangcheng Evening News, he said, “China is a rising country and the economy has grown rapidly. China has formed its own model of economic development. This model is what I need to study, and worth learning from by other countries in the world.”
Therefore, on November 8th, 2013, in his address at the opening ceremony of the first International Health Forum, Gettu specially emphasized the need to strengthen the exchange and cooperation between China and Africa. Actually, as early as in 2010, when Gettu held the posts of Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, Assistant Director of United Nations Development Program and Director of Africa Bureau, he exchanged ideas on the joint promotion of South-South Cooperation and poverty deduction with Wu Zhong, Director of China’s International Poverty Reduction Center. At that time, Gettu made proposals on cooperation in Africa, like setting up the “Window of China and Africa”, supporting China-Africa exchange and cooperation by using networks and platforms of NUDP in Africa, coordinating International Center’s scattered activities in Africa including researches, communications, trainings and collaborations, and expanding the areas of exchanges and cooperation in poverty deduction between China and Africa. Enhance international cooperation and focus on global health
“Besides development between or inside countries, people also pay special attention to global health. Economic development does not guarantee the progress of health,” said Gettu at the opening ceremony of the first International Health Forum on November 8th, 2013.
The reporter found that the World Health Industry Conference is an international exhibition co-sponsored by China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Health Care of Ministry of Public Health of China and other related institutions of various countries and regions like America, Russia, Germany, Japan, Korea and Africa. The Conference is held regularly every year on World Health Day and consists of three parts, namely, International Forum, Products Exhibition and Public Beneficial Activities, which is praised as the highest-level conference in global health industry by international media.
He made clear statement in his address that health is the common goal of all human beings and it definitely needs the cooperation among various departments and countries. He hoped that governments, non-governments, research groups and others around the world could carry out international cooperation with related organizations of United Nations to make efforts for the health of mankind.
It is the most important task of a country to build a harmonious and healthy society. Health plays a decisive role in social and economic development and to promote the health of human beings is one of the most important fundamental tasks of United Nations. “China has made great success in this respect, which has significant implications for the establishment of international strategies and policies. It has opened a new chapter of international cooperation,” said Gettu.
He also said that one vital function of United Nations is to fully coordinate all international organizations and member countries to strive for the health of mankind. Governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, institutions of United Nations and academic and research groups should carry out international cooperation together. The health of human beings is indeed a long-term mission. Great success has been made by the international community in this regard. However, environmental destruction and the emergence of diseases are still huge challenges to global health.
