President William Ruto has left the country for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to attend the 37th African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government.

The summit's theme is building resilient education systems for Africa's 21st-century human capital.

 In a statement on X by the government spokesperson Hussein Mohammed, the Head of State will speak on the education inequalities that have left 98 million children in Africa without access to schooling.

"As the chair of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change (CAHOSCC), the President will also deliver a report on the continent's strides in mitigating the climate crisis," he said.

This includes the Nairobi Declaration, agreed upon during the first-ever Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi last September.
