NGOs are aiming to capacitate local officials and governance structures, while at the same time promoting accountability to citizens in delivering the various socio-economic services. The interventions are mostly in a pilot phase and closer follow-up is needed to tap from the lessons.

Qualitative Information on NSA Contributions 4.5.1. Innovation in Alternative Basic Education Amhara region was one of the first to adopt and scale of the alternative basic education strategies promoted by NGOs. Various NGOs including SCNE, SCD, AAE, ADA, Pact Ethiopia Plan Ethiopia piloted and demonstrated the effectiveness of the ACCESS and ABE approaches for improving the educational participation of children from remote areas. Since 2005, the regional education bureau has assigned personnel and reserves budget for facilitating the operation of the teaching centres. At local level, the woreda Education Bureau does also allocate budget to top-up the community resources for running the centres. According to the Head of the regional education bureau 12 about four million school-age children have already gone through the alternative systems of basic-education delivery, and close to 400,000 children are currently enrolled across the region. Moreover, the Bureau head acknowledged that the alternative approaches promoted has enabled the region to raise the basic education access and enrolment to over 99%. 12 from the ER News of 17 February 2008 114
On the part of NGOs, the engagement in alternative basic education has to a large extent has produced the desired outcome. As an indicator to this some of the actors (for example SCD) are in the process of phasing-out operational presence at zonal levels, and instead reposition presence at strategic level for higher level advocacy. 4.5.2. Innovation in Agricultural intensification One of the areas where NGOs have had a visible contribution relates to the collective participation in agricultural intensification. A study commissioned by CRDA and World Vision Ethiopia 13 concluded that there was a trend of NGO-led agricultural intensification process that involved moves from field to garden and from cereals to fruits and vegetables production, complemented with irrigation. One can note such developments in programme areas of NGOs like WVE, LWF, ORDA, ASE and MfM, in parts of north and south Wollo, Oromiya and North Shoa zones of the region. The beneficiary communities from these programmes have increasingly become suppliers of high-value agricultural produce (fruits and vegetables). In summary, selected NGOs in Amhara have demonstrated the approaches to agricultural intensification and marketbased production which is adopted and being scaled-up by government at the moment. 4.5.3. Empowering Community self-help structures Most NGOs either make-use of existing community structures or establish new ones' as entry points for or facilitators of project delivery. In the past, it was common to hear the collapse of such structures upon withdrawal of the NGO support. But, this time the survey has detected a pattern on the emergence of vibrant local level civil society actors as a direct effect of deliberate NGO actions. Some specific developments observed are outlined below. In Bahir Dar the Community Development Committees established by JeCCDO for coordinating project implementation are by now independent and registered organizations, recognized and supported by other actors and involved in scaling-up and diversifying programmatic actions. In Woldiya town the unionized Iddirs through the facilitative work of PADET and the Woldiya Labour and Social Affairs Office are accepted local actors and participants in the local socioeconomic governance structure (consultative). In a similar way, the Bahir Dar Iddir Union (with 28 member Iddirs, comprising 6,643 households) is establishing its participation in innovative social services delivery by mobilizing resources from within the constituency and from other governmental and non-governmental sources. Information from the regional cooperative agency indicate that the regional cooperative strengthening process was strongly supported and facilitated by NGOs, like VOCA, WVE, LWF, SoS Sahel and Plan International. It is true that some other factors too have contributed to the emergence of stronger local self-help structures. For example, the simplification of regional NGO registration and availability some fund (like for HIV/AIDS) at local levels are important external factors. In addition the capacity strengthening and regulatory roles of the cooperative agency can be counted. Despite these, NGOs are establishing themselves as actors contributing to the strengthening of local level selfhelp and community empowerment structures. 4.5.4. Awareness and Actions for Child Rights Promotion During the last five years, some NGOs have made focused and intensive investments in the area of child rights promotion in Amhara.
