2.2. Distribution of NSA in TNRS<br />

� Most of <strong>the</strong> CBOs registered by <strong>the</strong> regional Justice Bureau are from <strong>the</strong> various urban<br />

centres of <strong>the</strong> region. Expectedly, those from Mekele are numerous.<br />

� According to <strong>the</strong> data from <strong>the</strong> Cooperatives Promotion Agency, <strong>the</strong>re are a total of 1,406<br />

rural cooperatives in <strong>the</strong> region; thus <strong>the</strong>y are omnipresent in <strong>the</strong> region.<br />

� The regional membership-based associations (that is Women, Youth and TDA) by default<br />

have members in all kebeles of <strong>the</strong> region. Moreover, particularly TDA has groupings of its<br />

supporters within Ethiopia as well as abroad, which are primarily engaged in resource<br />

mobilization.<br />

� As per <strong>the</strong> 2003 law, in all major zonal towns Chambers of Commerce's and Sectoral<br />

Associations are established. Amongst <strong>the</strong>se, it is <strong>the</strong> Mekele Chamber which is <strong>the</strong> strongest<br />

and operational.<br />

� Distribution of <strong>the</strong> 66 ongoing NSA projects 3 is shown on Table 2, overleaf. In terms of<br />

number of NSA Mekele stands first, primarily due to <strong>the</strong> presence of <strong>the</strong> social service<br />

organizations, like OSSA, MSIE, ECC/Daughters of Charity, SIM and Elshaday. In <strong>the</strong><br />

Central zone only REST, EECMY and ECC/ADCS have project agreements for<br />

international and regional NGOs, FBOs and development associations.<br />
