� After the 2004 conflict, the regional government has been engaged in the delicate conflict transformation and peace building process. The ethnic based parties have been transformed and an all inclusive party ( ) is in place. However, political positions are allocated with due consideration of equity amongst the groups. The President and the vice presidents are from the Agnuak and Nuer groups, respectively, while the speaker is from Mejenger. � Regarding overall development coordination and service delivery, it appears that the region is still feeble and wanting in many aspects. Major national initiatives like civil service reform and woreda decentralization are not fully executed. Donor supported projects and programmes are also scanty. � Thus, NSA profile, participation and contributions in GNRS should be assessed with the understanding of the above contexts. 1.2. NSA in GNRS as described in the previous mapping Because of the security concerns, the team involved in the previous mapping did not visit Gambella, thus profiles and nature of participation of NSA in the region is not covered. The presence of a branch office of EWLA in Gambella is only mentioned when describing the operational profile of EWLA. 1.3. Major Highlights of Current Findings � Regional Development Associations disbanded in relation to the 2003 conflict, � NSA are active participants in conflict transformation and peace building (ACORD, Pact Ethiopia, GPDC), � Relatively, active participation of NSA in education (formal and non-formal): ECS/Don Bosco, Hope Enterprises, Pact Ethiopia, ANFEAE), � Some NSA participate in emergency response and recovery (ZOA Refugee Care, MSF/Switzerland, Oxfam America, ECS/Missionaries of Charity, ECMY) � NSA landscape is undeveloped and thin (few regional and national NGOs, no Iddir unionization process; no Regional Women Association, and Youth at early stage) � In general, NSA contribution to the regional development process is diminutive, � NSA cooperation and dialogue with government remains undeveloped (areas of participation of key NSA (NGOs) not fitting with traditional coordination fields of DPPB, that is food security, and � Cooperation between the different typologies and elements of NSA is undeveloped. 2. Profile and distribution of NSA at Regional Level 2.1. Profile of NSA The mix of formal NSA in GNRS is outlined below. As can be seen both the number and mix are on the lower side, compared to the other regions. Table 1: GNRS NSA typologies and size NSA Typologies 57.
