� Good starts in NSA networking - amongst Youth associations and clubs, and amongst NGOs and regional CSOs. � Access to donor resources for organizational development and programme implementation limiting the enhanced participation potentials of regional NSA � The dynamics in Iddir unionization affected by absence of facilitator governmental and nongovernmental institutions. 2. Profile and distribution of NSA at Regional Level 2.1. Profile of NSA Table 1, below presents the profile of NSA typologies in Benishangul Gumuz Region. As can be seen, NSAs representing nearly all the typologies set during the inception phase of this exercise are found in the region, and it is learned that the NSA mix is not that different from the other regions. One of the deviations relates to the relative size of international NGOs; in other regions these categories are relatively less compared to the national and regional NGOs. The geographical (remoteness) as well as undeveloped infrastructural contexts would explain as to why there are more of the international than the national and regional NGOs. Table 1. BSG NSA typologies and size NSA Categories 46. NGOs = 41 International NGOs = 14 AAE, Water Aid, Oxfam UK, FHI, National NGOs = 3 WeSMCO, Hope Enterprises, EFDA Regional Registered NGOs = 24 47. Regional Development Associations = 4 B-SDA, TGPDA, MKDA, BGRDA 48. FBOs (national and international) = 12 EMWBCDO, WVI, EOC/DICAC, EMDA 49.

Reg. registered Asso. of PLWHA = 3 55. Free Press; 56. Community based organisations - 48 basic Iddirs in Asossa Town Selam and Weyisho Iddirs in Asossa 2.2. \Distribution of NSA in BSG There is a general concentration of NSA in Asossa Town and the corresponding zone, which is Asossa Zone. As can be seen from Table 2 below, out of the total 34 operational NGOs in the region, eleven are operational in Asossa Zone. Likewise, according to the information from the Cooperatives Promotion Agency 21 , about 70% registered Cooperatives are from the Asossa Zone, while the remaining 20% from Metekel and 10% from Kamash Zones. The distribution pattern of the various associations of youth (reproductive health, anti-AIDS, etc.) is some what identical, as most are concentrated in Asossa and the surrounding areas. Most of the international NGOs and the FBOs have programmes focusing on the rural based population. On the other hand, the various regionally formed NGOs and membership-based clubs and associations of youth, women and the few iddirs taking part in social services for OVC are primarily active in urban and semi-urban set-ups.

Activities and Sectoral Contributions General Overview The regional government is well aware on importance of the participation as well as contributions of the different elements of NSA in the regional socio-economic development process. To this effect, the government encourages the emergence, growth in number and supports capacity building for NSA participation. The following three observations could be counted as verifiers of the above generalization: � During the establishment phase of the Asossa Chamber of Commerce, the office of the regional president has donated Birr 3,000 to assist the take-off process 22 , � The Regional Finance and Economic Development Bureau as part of its five year development plan have a goal of increasing the number of operational NGOs to 51 from the reference of less than 30 23 . It is learnt that the regional officials do visit head offices of stronger NGOs and lobby them to start operation in their region. 21 Ato Mulugeta Teffera, Team Leader BSG Coop.
