Abstract:In June 1993 the government of Ethiopia introduced the National Policy on Disaster Prevention and Management (NPDPM) to rationalize the activities of NGOs in the country. The present study considers how the introduction of the NPDPM changed the work of NGOs. It also discusses the effects of the policy on NGO activities, in particular the Food and Cash for Work Programmes for the rehabilitation of demobilized soldiers run by the Relief Society of Tigray (REST), the Adigrat Catholic Secretariat (ACS) and World Vision International-Ethiopia (WVI-E) in Atsibi, Saese Tsadamba and Irob in eastern Tigray. It argues that the NPDPM had limited success. The basic strategic objectives were not properly focused and they did not encompass underlying problems, notably the questions of land, long-term employment and income generation. Moreover the agencies, mainly governmental institutions and NGOs, did not work well together. Bibliogr., notes, ref. [ASC Leiden abstract]
