SCNE, SCD, FSCE, ANPPCAN and PADET, are the key actors in this field. In selected woredas of North Wollo, SCD and its two-partner national NGOs (PADET and ANPPCAN) have successfully accomplished the tasks of general child rights awareness creation, mobilizing and organizing child rights clubs and community structures, and also in strengthening capacities of governmental institutions (example the judiciary and Law enforcement bodies) for the protection of child rights. ANPPCAN alone is behind the formation and participation of over 50 child rights clubs in schools across North Wollo woredas. It has also similar project in North Gondor (Dabat and Wogera). Likewise, PADET and ANPPCAN have jointly mobilized other local level NGOs, CBOs like Iddirs, religious leaders and local officials (Woreda and Kebeles) in Woldiya town, Gubalafto, Kobo and Habru woredas, and this has contributed to both enhanced local level care and support for OVC and to the nurturing of non-tolerant culture against child abuse. The following are some of the indicators learned from the field work: � In Kobo and Mersa towns, Kebele-based OVC committees have established income generating schemes for targeted OVCs, � Child Rights Clubs from schools in Mersa town and the surroundings are actively participating in the protection and prevention of harmful tradition of early marriage and abduction affecting educational participation of the girl child, � With the support of the above mentioned NGOs, Police stations in selected woredas of the zone have established children and mothers protection units. � At zonal level, an initiative of forming all inclusive child rights advocacy forum is in motion. On a region-wide scale, the FSCE has facilitated the introduction as well as the operation of the Children and Mothers' Protection Units in the Police Commission Structures. The supports provided include training of personnel in child rights, developing formats for compilation of information on incidences of child rights abuses and children in conflict with the law. With these supports, the regional police commission has started producing monthly statistical reports on cases of children and mothers rights, which is shared and fed into the FSCE data-base in Addis Ababa. Moreover, as part of a phase-out strategy, FSCE is currently coordinating a task of developing a regional Guideline for Police Officers in Managing Cases related to Child Rights. By taking into account these diversified actions and the corresponding results at different levels; the survey is convinced that child rights promotion is one of the visible contributions of NGOs in Amhara. The current children who are well aware of child rights, when grown up, will not allow the perpetuation of such abuses as early marriage, abduction, and denial of education rights of children. 4.5.5. Environmental protection and community asset creation This is one of the long-established engagement areas of NGOs and MBAs in Amhara. Physical conservation structures like terraces, hill side tree plantations and backyard tree plots have become common features of the regional landscape. Of course, the credit is shared among various stakeholders. But NGOs like ORDA, FHI, SC/UK, WVE and EOC/DICAC, through their safety net and other agricultural extension programmes have played vital role in promoting the environmental rehabilitation and protection agenda in the region. In the 14 woredas where NGOs coordinate implementation of the ongoing PSNP, environmental rehabilitation and community asset creation are core activities. 116
“Our finger-prints are visible on the hills and the valleys of the region” Ato Wuletaw, Director of ORDA As recent additions, organizations like: Lem Ethiopia; Ethiopian Wetlands and Natural Resources Association; Sustainable Natural Resources Management Association (SuNRMA), Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS), SLUF and TT&T, Green Horizon Ethiopia and Albuko and Zuriawa Limat mahiber are engaged in community and education based activities for forest and watershed management. The environmental rehabilitation work has also contributed to community asset creation as sale of harvests from the plantations is being used to supplement local financial resources for service delivery. At household level, income from sale of tree and tree products is contributing to improved food security (examples WVE target groups in Kemisse area of Oromiya Zone). 5. The dynamics in the sector at regional level In summary the survey has observed the following developments in the regional NSA landscape: � National and regional NSA are strongly coming into the picture - Sizable number of national NGOs has established operational presence in Amhara. NGOs like, PADET, ANPPCAN, EDA, ASE, FCR, EA, FCO, CHAD-Et, AARDR and HORCO have ongoing projects in the region, and this is encouraging as most used to have projects at close proximity to Addis in the past. Likewise, the regional NGO, ORDA has expanded its operational coverage. � Regional MBA learning to co-exist with the smaller regional associations and organizations - as explained elsewhere, at zonal and regional levels diverse groups of NSA that share the constituency base of the bigger regional membership organizations have been forming. Because of this dynamics, the regional associations like ADA have already decided to cooperate (instead of competing) with such local NSAs. This can be counted as a positive development contributing to the diversity of NSA. � Networking - regional networking is a live agenda being promoted by lead organizations like CRDA, AAE, ORDA and SCF/UK. This is taken as an indicator of maturity of the NSA, and is further discussed under section 5, below. � Regional presence of INGOs - the survey has noted that some stronger NGOs have established regional offices as means to providing closer support to the regional process and also establish closer linkage with the regional government. The establishment of the CRDA/RLO, the opening of regional coordination offices of AAE, PFI, SCF/UK and WVE are important indicators. � The survey noted that some international NGOs have withdrawn their operation in the region. Examples to this effect include OXFAM/GB and CPAR. Save the Children Denmark and Lutheran World Federation (LWF) are uncertain of their next step programmes. Some are justifying the withdrawal in relation to programme success (Alternative Education). On the other hand the survey has learned the arrival of new generation of international NGOs like Carter Centre, Frankfurt Zoological Society, and PFI; having focused/specialized participation, some as intermediaries and all not engaged in area based programmes. 6. Networking The CRDA Amhara Regional Liaison Office (RLO) came into picture since July 2006. Establishment of the RLO was necessitated and justified in light of the operational presence of sizable number of CRDA members in the region and also in relation to the need for engaging 117
