3.2. Summary of Values and Beneficiaries of Ongoing NGO Projects
NGO projects and financial resources
The NGOs in Afar region channel a large amount of financial resources in order to undertake
development activities and provide basic services. On the basis of the project budget allocated for
on-going projects implemented during two years, the total fund that NGOs channel is over half a
billion. The largest share is contributed by INGO and this is followed by the FBO as shown on
the following chart. As indicated already, INGO contribution is very significant in relation to the
combined resource share of NGO and FBO.
