implementation. On the other hand, the data from the DPP shows that most of the indicated ongoing NSA projects are targeted to the rural areas and the population therein. For example all the 12 ongoing projects of REST are being implemented in rural woredas. � In summary, depending on the nature of typologies, NSA are widespread in the different administrative structures and settlement patterns of Tigray.

Instead, initiatives are implemented either with (informal) endorsement or with (formal) approval of local government officials. As a result, documentation at regional level on participation as well as quantitative contributions is not available. Despite this, the survey is convinced that such NSA, too, are making important contributions to the regional development process. For example, members of the Youth and Women Associations (in hundred-thousands) participate in tree planting and other environmental rehabilitation works on annual basis, and this should be counted as a noteworthy contribution, and � Tigray has close to 1,500 rural cooperatives that have a total membership-base of about 400,000 people. These cooperatives promote the economic participation and benefits of their constituency in different fields. Refer Table 3, overleaf for the details. 96

Summary of Values of Ongoing NGO Projects Table 4 below illustrates the financial value of 53 of the 66 ongoing projects 4 of NSA extracted from the regional DPP data-base. The indicated amount is a pledge and is not inclusive of project values of, among others: TDA 5 , DKT Ethiopia, ACDI/VOCA, the MSFs and OSSA. Leaving aside value of these projects as correction factor, as a best estimate, it is concluded that the NGOs and FBOs operating in Tigray have injected about half-billion Birr to the regional socio-economic development process during the four-year period (2004 to 2008). In other words, on average about 125 million birr per annum was mobilized from donors and used for operation in Tigray.
