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.

Activities and Sectoral Contributions 3.1. General Overview � The participation and contribution of NSA is desired and facilitated by the regional government - delegation for implementation; urban land/plots; equipment, and special advisor to President in place, � Reach/coverage and outputs of the Regional NGO (REST) and development association (TDA) are conspicuous, � The regional NGOs are the lead actors in promoting and responding to socio-economic and development needs of such groups as OVC, persons with disabilities (war veterans), the PLWHA and destitute women, and � Apart from the more formal third-party serving NSA (particularly those clustered as NGOs and FBOs), other typologies of NSA usually do not enter project implementation agreements with regional governmental regulatory departments (sector bureaus). 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

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.
