 I'm the director for East and Southern Africa from EFAT and we are very delighted to have here our country office in Ethiopia. This is the third fully-fledged office we are opening. We have one in Tanzania and one in Kenya where we have all our professional staff and the support staff based in country and for EFAT that means a big step forward. In the past we used to have only staff in Rome but you can imagine that having staff in the field makes all the difference. It is better to understand the poverty situation in a country based on which we can have better design of programs and we can do better support and supervision activities with our programs and projects. And that is often resulting in much better results and impact in the field improving the livelihoods of the rural people. In addition we have embarked on a huge activity related to knowledge management. We want to capture from the base of the projects the activities and what they impact on how it is working, what is working, what is not working so that we convey that elsewhere trying to improve on situations. So our country officers stand at the base of these efforts and including using the officers for partnerships. Because EFAT alone would not be able to do all the things needed to improve on rural livelihoods of people. So we are seeking partnerships and also being in Rome finding partners in Ethiopia would be extremely difficult. So now with our office here and we see an enormous impact and improvement on the partnerships at both the relation with the government but also other development partners and NGOs with whom we can cooperate and work together for better programs in the field.
