Zonal Distribution of Ongoing Projects<br />
As can be seen from Table 4 below, 45% of <strong>the</strong> financial resource for ongoing NGO projects is<br />
allocated to activities in Asossa zone. This amount is more than double what is pledged for<br />
operations in <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r two zones (Metekel 18% and Kamash 16%). Moreover, it is learned that<br />
<strong>the</strong> bigger share of <strong>the</strong> financial resource of <strong>the</strong> five region-wide projects as well is disbursed for<br />
projects in Asossa town and <strong>the</strong> surrounding woredas. From this observation it can be concluded<br />
that Asossa Zone is relatively well served and advantaged from NGO operation in <strong>the</strong> region.<br />

Sectoral Participation<br />
Education and Child development are <strong>the</strong> major areas where NGOs have established stronger<br />
participation. Sixteen of <strong>the</strong> 51 ongoing NGO projects are tailored to support education, mostly in<br />
<strong>the</strong> alternative or non-formal approaches. Likewise, <strong>the</strong> health sector activities in reproductive<br />
health and HIV/AIDS stand as <strong>the</strong> second core participation areas of NGOs in <strong>the</strong> region. (Refer<br />
Table 5 overleaf). Since most of <strong>the</strong> integrated rural programmes have components on <strong>the</strong> above<br />
two sectoral activities it can be said that education and Health are <strong>the</strong> most important<br />
participation areas of NGOs in <strong>the</strong> region. The importance of <strong>the</strong>se sectors can be fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
streng<strong>the</strong>ned as most of <strong>the</strong> emerging regional NSA are involved in <strong>the</strong> same areas.<br />
