3 Activities and Sector Distribution<br />

Zonal distribution of NGOs<br />

As shown by chart 1 and 2 below, <strong>the</strong> activities of NGOs cover all <strong>the</strong> zones and special woredas<br />

in <strong>the</strong> SNNPR. NGO project activities are significant in <strong>the</strong> major zones like Sidama, Gamo<br />

Gofa, Gurage, South Omo and Hadiya (see Chart 1).<br />

Except Kaffa zones, almost all zones of <strong>the</strong> SNNPR are also constitute <strong>the</strong> major<br />

populous regions of Ethiopia where <strong>the</strong>re is rapid population growth coupled with high<br />

level of poverty. This is also <strong>the</strong> likely reason for relatively large number of on-going<br />

NGO project activities as compared to <strong>the</strong> special woredas that are less populous (see<br />

Chart 2 below).<br />
