e) Responding to needs of vulnerable groups - OVC support NSA involved - Ethiopian Mulu-wongel Believers Church Development Organization and Asossa iddirs Approach - 3-tier approach: World Vision mobilizes PEFAR fund from USAID and supported Mulu-Wongel Church Development Organization as sub-grantee to in turn involve and support CBOs and the local churches. Recipient CBOs (Iddirs) and Churches screened and provided integrated supports to OVCs residing in geographically defined segments of Asossa town. Progress - Project has already reached and extended support to 3,214 children (50% Girls). Moreover, the OVC support Core Committees established in conjunction with the project have started mobilizing local level resources and actors to extend their share of contributions in support of the OVC agenda. For example, some of the Asossa based private schools have enrolled agreed number of OVC for free (that is no tuition fee). Results - enhanced CBO interest in social services for the weak segments of society, and model for community participation in addressing local needs. The dynamics in the sector at regional level Compared to the 2004 observation, the quantities, mix and profiles of NSA in BSG has grown and come to prominence. Various factors appear to have contributed to this development, and the major ones' are outlined below: � As indicated elsewhere in this report the regional government has deliberately lobbied and attracted some international NGOs to start operation in the region. As a result the number of operational international NGOs have increased, � As part of implementation strategy, selected NGOs (like AAE, FHI and CISP) have extended technical and financial supports for associations or groupings of youth to participate in the regional HIV/AIDS response. This could have been one of the pullfactors for the emergence of the various associations in these fields. On the part of the government, availability of the small HIV/AIDS grants from HAPCO could have same effects; � By the time of the field work 44 regional NSA have acquired legal personality as not-forprofit entity from the regional Bureau of Justice and Security. Hence, it can be said that the commencement of registration by the Notary Office, under the Bureau of Justice and Security could have simplified the procedure and resulted in legal registration of otherwise informal groupings. � The multi-ethnic nature of the regional population appears to have contributed to the emergence and participation of diverse groups of NSA. For example as indicated in the previous mapping study the leaders of the four indigenous ethnic groups are supporting their respective regional development associations, and by doing so they contribute for the co-existence of multiple NSA competing for resources and recognition. The same holds true for the associations of youth and women, where localized and focused associations are equally accepted and accommodated as the hierarchical regional associations. As a matter of fact, much more self-organizing work is still needed in order to build the legitimacy of the hierarchical regional Associations. Typology Number 130

Hence, the arrangement can be cumbersome and costly venture for those aspiring to register from Zonal and Woreda levels. It would have been sensible if at least the far-off Zone of Metekel is delegated to handle the Zonal registration, � No governmental and non-governmental agency has ventured into assisting the Iddir unionization process in the region. As a result the attempt of three local iddirs to establish a Union of the 48 Iddirs in Asossa has not succeeded, and potentials of increasing their participation in socio-economic processes is under-utilized, Networking � Starts have already been made towards establishing regional CSO network. Initially the plan was to establish a Regional Chapter of PANE. Through further consultations, the plan is adjusted to establishing and legalizing a Regional CSO Forum. It is anticipated that the Regional CSO Forum will be a counterpart to the Regional Government - NGO Forum which already constituted. � While the general networking is in good course, there are outstanding challenges in forming focused regional networks, particularly relating to regional network of PLWHA Associations. It is learned that the leadership competition among the two Asossa-based PLWHA associations has hindered formation of a regional network that is expected to relate to the Associations of Ethiopian Living HIV/AIDS (AELHA). � To coordinate and support efforts of the various groups, the Union of BSG Regional Anti- AIDS Clubs and Associations was established at the beginning of 2007. The establishment as well as participation of the Union is supported by AAE and the Regional HAPCO. It can be an effective structure for strengthening capacities of the member clubs and associations and also for dissemination of education messages. Dialogue and cooperation between NSA and Local Government In general terms, local government in BSG is still undeveloped - hence, dialogue is limited. Rather demonstration-based and action-learning approaches leading to dissemination of successful practices is taking place in some localities. For example, the work of water Aid in Menge Woreda (explained under section 3.5) presents a model of cooperation between local government and NSA.
