4. Qualitative Information on NSA Contributions a) HIV/AIDS o Participating NSA - Association of Youth, Women, Faith leaders (Ethiopian Muslim Agency and EOC/DICAC), IRC in and around refugee sites at Sherkole and Kurmuk, CPAR, FHI and AAE, o Activities undertaken - awareness creation, campaigns for behavioural change in prevention, addressing stigma and discrimination; and providing care and support for those affected and infected; facilitating VCT; supporting the establishment of PLWHA associations and clubs of youth, o Recognition by government - According to Ato Gemechu Abose (A/Head of the Regional HAPCO), NSA have been major actors in the regional HIV/AIDS response so far, and conditions are being facilitated for their continued and enhanced participation in the coming years. The social mobilization work for prevention and control of the epidemic accomplished so far by NSA is counted as particular important contribution. o Result - the combined effort of NSA and the government has enabled the region to bring down and stabilize the prevalence to 1.8% from the 2.6%, o Next step - through HAPCO, additional financial support is pledged for continued participation of the regional NSA from MAP II and GFTAM. o Lessons - most of the regional NSA have undeveloped policies and systems of resource management. As a result, despite the generally satisfactory performance in reaching targets and delivering expected services, according to the HAPCO information, sizable number of regional NSA failed to ensure timely and proper financial accountability (settlement) and also demonstrate judicious and responsible use of the resource allocated. For enhanced participation this aspect should be addressed through organizational development supports. b) Innovation in Alternative Basic Education (ABE) o Participating NSA - AAE and Oxfam GB o Approach - demonstration and lobby for mainstreaming in local government development plan and budget o Activities undertaken - community structures establishment; support for teach-centre construction (top-up to community resources); covering costs of: training facilitators from the community; printing text-books and salary of the facilitators (for defined period); assist community structure to start income generating scheme for the Centre; and lobby local government to take-over and budget for running the centres. o Recognition by government - According to the Regional Coordinator, AAE in collaboration with communities established 60 ABE centres in its target woredas. Through the demonstration and lobbying work, the local authorities appreciated the outcome, and currently Woreda Education Offices provide coordination and support to the ABE centres (including salary for facilitators) as part of their regular programmes. o Result - The region has a high percentage ratio of school enrolment (GER=107 and NER = 83.6%, 2007), and according to the five year development plan, attaining the MDG in education by 2015 is possible, 128
o Next steps - NGOs moving into new engagement areas in the education sector. It is learned that the next phase programme of Oxfam/UK will shift to strengthening formal education and the management information system in education. c) Strengthening Cooperatives o NSA involved - CISP, OXFAM/GB, World Vision and Action Aid Ethiopia o Activities undertaken � Facilitating the establishment of water user cooperatives - by developing the infrastructure, facilities like stores, and providing equipment, etc. Examples included the work of CISP in Metekel and World Vision Ethiopia in Asossa - Homosha areas. � Assisting/supporting a Cooperative Union to venture into agricultural product processing so as to add-value and maximize gains. The example in this regard is the Oxfam/GB support in Oil Mill Centre construction for the Asossa Cooperative Union, and the understanding reached for next-stage collaboration in Mango processing, and � Assisting a Cooperative Union to establish and function properly. Specific example in this regard is the Action Aid Ethiopia support in furnishing and equipping the office base of the Asossa Cooperative Union. o Recognition by government - The regional Cooperatives Promotion Office recognizes that the emergence of most of the registered irrigation-based cooperatives was supported and facilitated by the NGOs. o Result - Interest and practices in irrigation-based intensive farming is one the increase and cooperatives motivated to diversify engagements, including agro-processing. o Next steps - by taking into account the remoteness of the region from the centre, particularly NGOs should be encouraged to assist regional NSA to venture into value chain development for the major agricultural produces and natural resources (e.g. bamboo) available in the region and improve marketability. d) Water Supply and Sanitation � NSA involved - Water Aid Ethiopia, Menge Woreda � Objective - piloting and demonstration of full-coverage of WATSAN services � The Approach - Woreda level Water and Sanitation Technical Coordination Forum of 10 sector offices and 2 NGOs (Oxfam/GB and WAE) provide overall leadership. NGO and Woreda Water Resources Desk jointly implement the project. NGO injects additional financial resources and core professional (a Geologist). Government makes available equipment (e.g. drilling machine) and provides office space for NGO. In targeted kebeles user committees are organized and provided with guidelines for managing facilities. Stepby-step, the project has been expanding coverage of Kebeles. � Progress - 95% coverage of WATSAN services in a Woreda to be attained in a four-year operation that started in 2005. � Key lessons � Specialized approach, � Intensive work on defined project target area, � Community organizing - the kebele WATSAN Committees have managed to collect and accumulate up to 30,000 Birr from user fees during the last three years. � Strong cooperation and making maximum use of the governmental structures and resources 129
