The role of the Private Sector Private Sector Organisations The only Private Sector Organisation active in Harari is the Harar Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations whose activity is based on a package of services provided to the members of the four Sector Associations. This package includes administrative services (e.g. bookkeeping, training, foreign trade information and some form of advocacy on business issue The Chamber of Commerce refer about a positive cooperation with the local government and of a regular consultation for the decision-making related to business issues. The Chamber of Commerce shows an initial level of institutionalisation and plays a traditional role in providing services and representation for the constituency ( almost 2000 members) but the role that this organisation play in policy appear to be at an initial level and the relationship with the government based more on personal relationship than on a systemic partnership or dialogue. As for the Trade Unions, in all the major working places are organised basic Unions affiliated to the different federation of CETU. These organisations play a representation and collective bargaining role, with some influence in the organisational process of the enterprises due to their large constituencies and also try to play a social role by promoting recreational, cultural and sporting activities.

The major influencing factors can be identified as follows: 1. emerging of informal groupings due to a growing citizen’s participation; 2. Gradual level of institutionalisation of Community-Based Organisation, mostly Iddirs and Afochas.; 3. The supportive role played by the Local Bureau of Justice; 4. Stimulation and capacity building from Local NGOs, INGOs, and Apex organisations for the grassroots organisations. Some trends have be highlighted, namely: A. Iddirs are gradually assuming the role of Community-Based Social Welfare or Self-Help Organisations. Both isolated and grouped Iddirs have gradually broadened the traditional role of assisting the families for burial and in the mourning period (which is kept as an initial form of social support to the family from the community and as a way for strengthening community bonds) and have assumed a role in : • providing social welfare support to the weaker layers of the community such as OVCs, elderly people, widows and disabled; • stimulating income generation activities through revolving micro-credit activities; • providing mutual help in family crises and difficulties such as diseases, the death of a breadwinner etc; • building of small-scale local infrastructures; • cross-cutting issues, mainly gender and child protection • cooperating with local authorities in service delivery and consultation on social problems. As for this network it has to be highlighted that it is showing a very high potential in terms of social mobilisation and capacity for strengthening the social capital (solidarity initiatives, voluntary working services etc.) and they are showing an initial capacity to interact with the Government at least in terms of consultation for the planning and regional implementation of the PADSDEP. This process has been supported by the regional chapter of PANE, to whom the network is affiliated. The initiative shows some weaknesses and controversial characteristics, namely: • excess of personalisation and “spirit of leader”. The basic associations, the Unions and the network have formal democratic internal life and elections are held regularly, but there is no limit of terms for the Board Members and Chairmen and some of them have served for more than 15 years. The influence of powerful members, some of which play different roles in public services and 39
