Therefore, private sector organizations especially the Chamber of Commerce has an office that gathers private enterprises in the region particularly enterprises operators in Awassa town. Enterprises which are the active member in this Chamber of Commerce obtain various services. The most relevant are marketing and the provision of market information, linking businesses and match-making for joint venture between local and foreign companies. In addition, members also get training services and participate in trade tour which is often organized in cooperation with the national chamber of commerce. 88
6 Trade Unions One of the main CETU Branch offices is located in the regional capital Awassa which is the Southern Ethiopia representative offices of the national trade union umbrella organization. The organizational structure of CETU is industrial based and does not follow the federal structure of the government. Therefore, the Southern branch of the labour union represents all the union members in SNNPR and also many enterprise workers in the South-central Oromia (Western Arsi zone) and also Eastern Oromia (Bale, Borena and Guji zones). The services that the branch office provides for its members include the formation and strengthening of new associations, ensuring that members’ employment rights are protected and follow up on legal issues and employment agreements. Participation in policy dialogues and contribution to the democratization process is less significant. It is only when the government invites/requests that the branch office representatives will take part in policy dialogue and consultation. Nevertheless, there is no regular work relationship between the branch office and the SNNPR state. The main factors that limit an active engagement are the lack of awareness, shortage of finance and the lack of interest on the part of workers. Workers seem to have lost interest to participate in policy dialogue because it is only if Government invites CETU that workers would participate in such dialogues. 7 Cooperatives in the SNNPR There are a total of 1768 cooperatives that have about 960,847 members and about Birr 148.3 million available capitals. The three major cooperative types are 894 multi-purpose cooperatives, 559 savings and credit and 66 irrigation cooperatives. Among the remaining 249 cooperatives housing, fishery and irrigation users’ cooperatives are the most important in terms of capital (see Table below).
