Strategic Review of the Democracy, Growth and Peace for Pastoralists Project
Requested by: DFID Ethiopia, 2008
Project documents: terms of reference | report
This review finds that the Democracy, Growth and Peace for Pastoralists (DGPP) project has made a significant contribution on pastoralist voice, including capacity-building for the Oromia Pastoral Association (OPA) and other pastoral associations.
However, DGPP has made much less progress on outputs relating to responsive and capable government. There have been very serious failings in the Pastoralists Consultants International (PCI) team’s approach to partnerships with NGOs in particular, and strains in partnerships with UNOCHA and parts of government, notably the Oromia Pastoral Areas Development Commission (OPADC). Opportunities for collaboration in influencing policy have been lost as a result.
In its final months, DGPP should:
- do more to facilitate specific dialogues on pastoral policies between pastoral leaders, government and MPs.
- continue capacity-building with the pastoralist associations
- attend as a matter of urgency to partnership issues.
