• Most rural markets around Dire Dawa are not organized and do not have organized marketing system. In the existing marketing condition marketing middle men get a good share of the final price of the products while farmers did not get a price which reflects the actual value of their product. Presence of organized market and marketing system is believed to bring an incremental benefit to producers. An improvement in the marketing system will also help to minimize the smuggling of products to and from neighbouring countries via contraband trade routes. Pack animals carrying firewood and charcoal have been making a nuisance and creating traffic congestion in the main streets of Dire Dawa on their way to the market. b. NSA in Dire Dawa - from the previous mapping The previous mapping noted that in Dire Dawa NSA in the different categories were in very limited number and among those interviewed most had limited capacity. Furthermore the study highlighted the fact that indigenous NGOs were a minority in the NSA landscape and most of them were either branches of international NGOs or of national NGOs. As for the Government capacity to interact with the NSA sector, it was found even more limited than the capacities of the NSAs themselves. The previous study also highlighted two phenomena: • The dynamic in the Youth sector, which was being interested by a strong effort by the Youth Association to create local (kebele) associations and clubs with the aim of coordinating these organisations scattered in the territory; • The fact that several regional association were operating in the town, to gather the settlers coming from the different regions, but whose main aim whose to collect financial contributions. c. Major highlights of current findings Dire Dawa’s NSA dynamic is highly influenced by these urban characteristics: These characteristics can be summarised as follows: 1. A general high level of citizens’ mobilisation and relatively growing capacity of self-organisation on the basis of the constituency’s interests and/or cultural priorities; 2. Large number of organisations are operational on cultural and awareness raising (e.g. HIV-AIDS) issues. There is high number of organisations who work on cultural issues to raise awareness and shape opinion of the public. This typical urban features has been found mostly in the field of Youth Association, where the dynamics show an initial process of institutionalisation and also the attempt to promote some income generation activities to fund organisations’ activities; 48
3. High level of mushrooming of CBOs. CBOs are progressively growing in quantity and strengthening their constituencies. Although CBO’s leaders and most active people largely acknowledge their lack of organisational capacity, it has to be said that a high level of awareness of the needs and an important effort to build capacity and to improve the quality of internal process is being made by different CBOs and Umbrella organisations is being made, supported by local and national NGOs (regional chapters) and by Apex Organisations; 4. The rather recent change of Institutional Characteristics (Dire Dawa has been established as a Chartered Town in 2004). This important change has produced the need for a Local Planning Process for development and poverty reduction. This process has benefited of the contribution of NSA and is currently being strengthened during the new planning process launched in December 2007 (see below). 5. The local government has shown a relative openness to Civil Society participation and largely recognises the contribution of NSA to fill the gaps in service delivery, aid during the aftermaths of the 2005 flood, and the potential for a partnership with both Civil Society and the Private Sector; 6. As found also in other situations an outstanding trend is the gradual transformation of Iddirs from the traditional burial-related role to Social Welfare or Self-Help CBOs. This situation is starting to qualify these organisations as potential development partners. The Local Development Agency, a City Administration Body is often using CBOs as partners for Local development Activities such as microinfrastructure, water and sanitation schemes construction, and local infrastructure construction; 12. Profile and distribution of NSA at Regional Level. a. Profile of NSA. The table below shows the profile of NSA typologies in Dire Dawa City. As can be seen, NSAs representing nearly all of the typologies set are found in the DD. The NSA mix in the region is not very different from the other regions. 49
