CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study
In Ethiopia, all Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) have to make strategic choices regarding their resources by identifying priority activities, donor’s interest & Government and Charities and Societies (ChSA) reporting requirement. Even within the Civil Society Organization (CSO) itself, the different departments compete for resources with maximum approved ceilings and having in place a good financial management system is expected to provide needed tools in order to make timely decisions on fund allocation as well as monitoring performance that adhere to the reporting requirements set by Donors and Government. The financial processes of recording, planning, monitoring and controlling have to be done on an ongoing basis in conjunction with other functions of the organization for maximum impact to achieve the objectives of the organization.
With the increase in the number of CSO’s operating in Ethiopia and to address the need for a regulatory body, in 2009 the Ethiopia Government issued Proclamation No. 621/2009. This proclamation provides procedures for the Registration and Regulation of Charities and Societies there by establishing Charities and Societies Agency (ChSA) under the Ministry of Justice.

As well it monitors the CSO’s performance is efficient and meets set reporting requirements. In order to ensure this the financial and activity reporting of each NGO registered under the ChSA is reviewed strictly by the agency every year and continued operational approval is dependent on approval of submitted reports compatibility to set regulations of the

The finance department will also manage the sources of capital funds, provide data for long-range financial planning and the board’s annual goal for investments, and prevents distortion of costs or benefits in proposals (White & Griffith 2010, p. 432). Evaluating a potential new opportunity should always include the operating units involved and internal consulting. A budget of capital expenses and new programs is developed separately and approval or denial for each has to be obtained. The objective of any HCO is to make a profit each year.
The targets for this goal are going to be very difficult to measure as climate change is constantly evolving and data will therefore never be specific. “Measuring resilience and adaptive capacity to climate hazards and natural disasters in all countries” is going to be more complex than just collecting the occurrences of these climatic events. Similarly, every government is capable of observing and collecting data on their progress when considering the implementation of measures in target 13.2 and of education programs and the organization of awareness campaigns in target 13.3. However, the difficulty of measuring these targets is that their assessment is based on subjectivity, except for their financial aspect.

The central government had appointed a five-member committee headed by the Supreme Court Judge B.P. Jeevan Reddy to examine whether the AFSPA is required. The entire report has not been made public, but various non-governmental organizations have selectively quoted a portion of it (which was available on the web site of a prominent news paper): “….for whatever reasons, (AFSPA) has become a symbol of oppression, an object of hate and an instrument of discrimination
