� Associations of Women and Youth - supposed to collect prescriptions from members - but not yet. � Some of the regional development associations, FBOs and MBAs and regionally registered CSOs depending on supports from international NGOs (AAE, FHI, CISP) and government managed donor resources - HAPCO, � Some have managed to access a one-off type support - hence continued participation is at stake, � Others who have failed to mobilize resources in the process of disappearing from the landscape. Human Resources � International NGOs and FBOs - having few full-time key professionals - primarily to top-up local governmental technical capacity - Positive � Some of the stronger National and Regional NGOs - having some project-based full-time professionals in the key engagement areas - but finding it challenging to maintain due to turnover � Most of the regional CSOs (including the regionally registered NGOs, Associations of Youth, Development Associations, FBOs, and CBOs like Iddir) have no full-time staff at all. � Opportunities for exposure and skill development for CSO personnel are limited. Policies, Systems and Structures � The piloting and then scaling-up strategy of INGOs - is understood well and is producing results � Contextual participation and longer term visioning by some of the international NGOs - multi-sectoral and strategic interventions � Few of the emerging NSAs have policy manuals and multi-year programmes (Strategic Plan) that guide their participation � Opportunities for learning on aspects of organizational development; including governance, constituency strengthening, resource mobilization; accountability are not available for the majority of NSAs, � Most NSAs are concentrated in Asossa Town and the surrounding Zones - outreach! Facilities � Some NSA having their own office facilities - Iddirs, Women Association and WVE � Others housed in government offices - Water Aid � But, most operating from rented compounds (from private owners) - including RDAs, PLWHAAs, � Still others having no separate office of their own!! Capacity Building Needs � Need for organizational development supports for the various emerging regional NSA - planning, developing systems and policies � Need to have decentralized funding mechanism to improve donor access, 134
� Need to support the regional NSA develop logistical and infrastructure capacity for sustaining participation, including outreach to remote parts of the region, � Need for supporting self-organization in NSA and also dialogue between NSA and government � Need to support national offices of the FBOs and Chamber of Commerce's to provide outreach assistants (backstopping) to their regional counterparts, 10. Gambella Regional Report 1. General remarks on NSA at territorial level 1.1. Background about Gambella Region � Gambella is one of the emerging regions, located at the far south-western end of Ethiopia. It is a multi-ethnic region where four indigenous groups (Agnuwak, Nuer, Mejenger, Opo and Komo) coexist with considerable number of highlanders settled by the previous government. Some of the ethnic groups have shared identity with clans in Southern Sudan, thus the region has been hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees displaced by the prolonged conflict in the Sudan. During the field visit, it was seen that a large scale repatriation programme was in motion. It looks, large scale population movement across the political boundary is left unregulated, and this seems to be affecting the regional socio-economic and political process, both positively and negatively. � Gambella is a low-lying area through which the major rivers arising from the South-Western highlands flow into the Sudan. Traditional and subsistence agriculture is the mainstay of the population. The population of the region is estimated to be about 160,000. On observing the large number of youth strolling on the main-roads of that small city, one does not need additional statistics to appreciate the severity of unemployment or the underutilization of available human capacity in the region. � Of the ethnic groups, the Nuer is primarily agro-pastoral communities, while the Agnuwak are mostly sedentary small scale farmers across the routes of the major rivers. Fishing is an important source of nutrition and cash income. Unlike, the others, the Mejenger are huntergatherer people settled in the coffee-rich natural forests of Godere Woreda. � Because of the remoteness as well as other special contexts, local traditions and customs are major factors dictating social life and well-being. Even within Gambella town, the two major ethnic groups have separate neighbourhoods; intermarriage is uncommon and collective identity is undeveloped. In the face rapid population growth, movement and adverse climate change effects, this context could contribute to further perpetuation of conflicts and instabilities in the region. � Administratively the region is divided into four zones including the regional capital. The road and communication networks are relatively undeveloped. According to key informants 24 , the swelling of rivers and/or flooding of fields in some remote areas still cause untimely termination of educational services as the pupils could not make it to the schools. Moreover, flooding during the rainy seasons is a regular event resulting in the destruction of property and life of the population. Supporting flood victims is amongst the important preoccupations of the disaster prevention office. As indicated earlier, instability in weather patters could be further exacerbated due to climate change. 24 From the discussion with Ato Tesfahun, President GNRS Teachers Association 135
