 Summary

Ethiopia is a major country of origin for mixed migration in the Horn of Africa and Yemen. Political
violence, poverty, famine, and restricted prospects, as well as environmental degradation, famine, and
poverty, all influence Ethiopian migration trends. Due to these driving forces, a considerable number of
individuals, including children, were forced to move. In recent years, migration has been marked by an
increase in the number of child migrants aged 5 to 19. Unfortunately, contemporary data regarding
minor migration in Ethiopia is not available, however, from the given data IOM communicated to its
partners, it is possible to infer the magnitude as higher keeping the social, economic, psychological,
emotional etc challenges minor migrants and returnees are experiencing.

Positive Action for Development (PAD) submitted a proposal for the project "Innovative and
collaborative integrated livelihood Support for Migrant Returnees and their Families in Dire Dawa, City
Administration." In turn, the project aims to improve returnees' long-term socio-cultural and mental
well-being.

Strategically, the project will generate income for unemployed youth including migrant returnees, with
capacity and skill development, as well as right and community-based intervention, at its core. The
entire budget for the proposed project is 4,230,157.03 ETB, with administrative expenditures
accounting for 18 % of the total budget.

1. Rationale

Ethiopia is one of Africa's countries with the highest proportion of young people. Around two-thirds of
the population is under the age of 35, with over 65 million young people aged 10 to 24 experiencing
rapid growth. When it comes to Ethiopia's youth population in different regions, it appears that the
country's eastern regions are responsible for the majority of the country's population growth. As a
result, eastern Ethiopia is the most densely populated region of the country.

With the vast majority of the country's youth population, this area is currently marked by high youth
unemployment, irregular migration, and widespread substance addiction. Youth who are potential
migrants and families of migrant returnees, in particular, used to labor in the informal market, live in city
streets, are unemployed in rural areas, are in conflict-prone situations, and adolescent girls are caught in
this cyclical poverty.

Simultaneously, the eastern corridor, which includes Dire Dawa City Administration, continues to be a
destination for rural to urban migrants as well as a conduit for irregular migrants seeking to travel to the
east. The area is a major source of irregular migrants as well as a destination for vulnerable migrant
returnees. High unemployment, population density, significant environmental degradation, low
household land ratios, and limited employment opportunities are all thought to be contributing factors
to the massive mobility. These overlapping concerns necessitate a coordinated and mutually reinforcing
response. Because of these obstacles, PAD is ideally positioned to address a portion of the problem by
executing an innovative, scalable community project that is environmentally beneficial. The goal of the
project is to assist migrant returnees and other vulnerable adolescents in collecting, recycling,
processing, and marketing throwaway plastics, as well as compost processing and organic fertilizer
manufacturing and marketing. This project, in addition to assisting 210 migrant returnees and other
vulnerable youth, helps to the promotion of green and environmentally sustainable livelihood schemes.
These competitive advantage of PAD include, but not limited to: secured government commitment to
provide work place and legalize the targeted youth, availability of plastic processing plant in need of high
plastic supplies, organizational capacity and practical experience of PAD in implementing similar
successful livelihood projects in the anticipated areas of implementation; successful accomplishment in
urban destitute programs; strategic alliance and partnership with local youth-focused institutions and
experts; availability of techniques and vocational skill colleges; extensive working relation with relevant

system of IOM and EU.

2. Project Description

The proposed community based project is intended to offer innovative and environmentally friendly
sustainable livelihood opportunities for migrant returnees, vulnerable youth, and households in host
communities. The project is meant to facilitate the reintegration of migrant returns, with economic
reintegration assistance being a key component. As a result, the proposed project will employ
integrated, environmentally friendly, and community-based approaches to address the long-term
economic and livelihood needs of migrant returnees, vulnerable youth, and host communities to ensure
successful economic reintegration in their respective communities.

The project's overall objective is to promote community-based livelihood interventions that can help in
the effective reintegration of migrant returnees while also improving the livelihood of vulnerable youth
and HHs in host communities. The main project outcome is to increase sustainable income of returnees,
vulnerable youth and HHs in host communities.

Components / Approaches of the project

Output 1: Green Livelihood promotion through collecting, processing and marketing of used plastic.

The high number of immigration from migration-prone Dire Dawa city has resulted in urbanization and
population increase, which has had an environmental impact. Though there aren't enough research on
the subject, it’s thought that the rate of throwaway plastic of any kind from packaged meals, drinks, and
other consumable or non-consumable containers is among the greatest, contributing to climate change
Dire Dawa city. The area's large consumption culture of packaged items, combined with significant khat
marketing, has become a major source of environmental pollution and unsanitary neighborhoods,
reducing the attractiveness of towns and cities while jeopardizing the environment, health, economic,
and social aspects of the community. Citizens cannot enjoy and waste their time in public spaces and
streets because they are not clean enough.

4
Although unmanaged plastic waste disposal be a threat to the environment and public health, if well
managed and processed it has a potential for making a living and becoming source of livelihood for the
youth and that of migrant returnees in particular. In general, unmanaged plastic waste disposal are
major threat to the environment and human being in Dire Dawa city Administration. As a result, this
project aims to turn the problem of plastic trash disposal into a business opportunity for a significant
number of unemployed migrant returnees, other vulnerable adolescents, and HHs in host communities,
by organizing the collecting, processing, and marketing of various types of plastic garbage. As a result,
the project will involve partnership with the government and private business sector on a clearly defined
and mutually shared responsibility to address 60 youths who can be formalized into two certified
associations. This business opportunity will concentrate around the sale of used plastic on a retail basis,
which will be a source of income for hundreds of young people.

The youth groups will collect discarded plastics from individual homes, hotels, and other locations where
bottled items were used. They will also buy from individual collectors at a reasonable price. After that,
they will aggregate plastic wastes in the area which will be provided by the local government. Then, with
the help of the local government, 2 molding machine will be supplied by the factory and engage in
molding in separate area that will be again provided by government. They will then deliver the input to a
local plastic manufacturing. According to the local government's assessment, the factories are in high
demand of plastic inputs. In general, the government will avail storing and molding space, while the
factory will provide the molding machine. In addition, the government will also avail electricity and
water facilities to them in the centers.

According to the local government's cost analysis report 1, the price of recovered plastics varies from Birr
1500 to Birr 8000 per ton, depending on the type and quality of the recovered plastic. The estimated
annual amount of plastic waste that can be collected per annum is 4,649.2 tons. The revenue to be
obtained from plastic waste is 6,973,800 Birr (Dire Dawa City Administration, 2013). The simple
arithmetic evidence above indicate profitability of the business and project’s contribution to improve
livelihood of beneficiaries, and opportunity for scalable cooperative management modalities.
Apparently, government commitment and active engagement materialized in providing easily

11. Install sign board with high visibility of the project

Output 2: Livelihood opportunity through organic compose production and marketing

Compost is an organic fertilizer that can be produced at a very low cost on a locally organized farm or
location, with work being the most important input. It's decomposed organic detritus from the area,
such as crop residues, including "Kchat," and/or animal manure. The project's most environmentally
friendly and long-term livelihood choice is the production of organic compost/fertilizer. The planned
activity in Dire Dawa will take use of several non-plastic trash disposal solutions. The activity is being
suggested in order to capitalize on a significant market advantage and demand for organic compost in
the targeted area. PAD has proposed this intervention so as to take advantage of the strong demand for
organic fertilizers or compost from the government of Dire Dawa municipal Beautification Agency and
the Dire Farmers Union (cooperatives) farmers association. Composting is a labor-intensive process with
a rich and long-standing business. Composting can be done with any non-toxic and organic materials. As
a result, through the manufacturing and selling of organic fertilizers/compost, the project will provide a
source of income for 60 migrant returnees, vulnerable youth, and households (HHs) in host
communities, as well as their family members. These people will be grouped together as a legal entity.
The youth groups will collect non-toxic waste and decompose in the center already established by the
government. Then, they will sell the compost to Dire Dawa Beatification Agency and Farmer
Cooperatives.

7
As to the government cost-benefit analysis, the lowest selling price of compost is Birr 1000/ton and
about 8449.65 tons of waste that can be used for compost can be collected per annum. Hence, it is
possible to generate revenue of ETB 8,449,650 per annum. Costs associated with solid waste
management include salaries, benefits, wages, other operations and management costs of collecting,
transporting and disposing waste and annual discounted costs for the tangible assets (Dire Dawa City
Administration, 2013). The costs are significantly lower than the revenue when we estimate them. As a
result, the associations can benefit from compost sales. Furthermore, there is no formal association in
the city that can produce and sell compost. The Organization's Beautification Agency and farmer
cooperatives, on the other hand, are the principal compost purchasers in the city. During our
conversation with them, they insisted on forming groups in order to meet their regular compost
demand. Hence, the profitability of compost production is not questionable

 3. Partnership and Coordination

The proposed project acknowledges the importance of partnership and coordination at various levels to
ensure effective and efficient project implementation and sustainability of responses. Fostering an
environment conducive to reintegration requires adequate structures, policies and capacities. The
project has identified potential partners who could have a pivotal role and structural influence for the
success of the project. Accordingly discussions had been conducted with potential partners of the
project with government and private sector. Mutual understanding about the visibility and role to be
played by respective partners also created. To this end, partnership arrangement will be made with the
city administration sector bureaus including (Agency for Labour and Social Affairs, Agency for Sanitation
and beatification, Agency for job creation and urban food security, Dire Dawa farmers Union and New
Wave Industrial PLC in Eastern Industrial zone kebele level sector offices, community-based structures
and the private sector (New Wave Industrial).

Coordination is an essential prerequisite for successful reintegration of project between stakeholders

within the different sectors i.e. Agency for Labour and Social Affairs, Agency for Sanitation and
beatification, Agency for job creation and urban food security, Dire Dawa farmers Union and private
plastic processing plants in Eastern Industrial zone Office where all these will be the prime project
partner with the responsibilities of coordination, technical backups, project appraisal, facilitation of
agreements, leading and coordinating the referral system.

Basic social and economic service delivery institutions such as education offices, schools, health,
microfinance institutions, Food Security and Urban Job creation and Rural Job creation will engage in
providing access to community base projects/programs such as are for community project
implementation, technical support, input supply, market opportunity, Food for Work/Cash for Work
(FFW/CFW) through referral linkage to the target groups.

PAD’s Executive Management will be responsible to implement, coordinate and sign project agreement
with donor agency and government partners, lead the implementation of the project, supportive
supervision, coaching and mentoring, reporting and undertaking monitoring and evaluation.

For this particular project a project coordinator and Livelihood development officer will be deployed at
PAD office and ensure serving the project target communities. PAD’s governing Policy Directives such as
Child Protection, safeguarding, M and E, Personnel and Financial manuals and guidelines will be used in
the overall project management and operations to ensure accountability. With regard to addressing
gender issue at organizational leadership, management and operational level, the gender policy of the
organization will be used. PAD ensures that recruitment of staff will be made as per the HR policy
manual where selection and placement of employee meet specific requirements and competency that
the position demands however women are encouraged and be given priority. Summary of Core mutual
understanding on the role and responsibilities among core stakeholders are presented under

 4. Monitoring

Monitoring is a key to demonstrate the results of the proposed community project and identify possible
gaps in order to improve the proposed livelihood project benefiting large number of unemployed
migrant returnees other vulnerable youth and HHs in host communities thereby contributing to
effective and efficient project implementation. It involves the systematic collection, synthesis and
analysis of information and data on specified indicators to provide management and stakeholders with
indications on progress and achievement of objectives, and to take evidence-based action and decision
to improve performance to ensure that inputs through activities are transformed into results.

PAD’s monitoring and evaluation guideline together with the project work plan matrix (show the
timeline and flow of processes of planned activities on weekly and monthly basis) and Result/Log Frame
will be instrumental throughout the project cycle. Grass root data tracking, reporting and information
gathering formats will be developed and be available for use. In addition, simplified, user friendly and
applicable database system will be developed either in excel format or access tailored to this project as
a tool to monitor activity progress and performance. Furthermore, the project will apply a reintegration
project monitoring survey addressing the types of reintegration assistance delivered, timeliness of
assistance and status of economic support performance will be undertaken.

The overall project monitoring process will use participatory and community-based approaches. Project
stakeholders including beneficiaries will be made part and parcel of the monitoring process. They will be
familiarized with its objectives, strategies, interventions, their roles and responsibilities on monitoring
and evaluation of the project to ensure their active participation. Activity milestones and detail work
plan will be prepared that helps to monitor and follow up the qualitative and quantitative
accomplishment status of each planned activity and budget performance. The indicators in the
Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) will be used to monitor the progress of the project.

Align with the project performance monitoring plan regular (weekly, monthly) monitoring of activities
will commence against given milestones, indicators focusing on project implementation, community
linkages, planning and quality assurance and improvement. PAD also extend supportive monitoring
supervision to measure progress, assess implementation of service provision, ensure all information
properly captured, identify strengths and area of improvement, make sure data quality management of
project sites and come up with action and way forward.

5. Evaluation

The aim of the evaluation is to determine the relevance and fulfillment of objectives, development
efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability. Evaluations assess the project’s progress vis-à-vis the
project purposes and overall objective and looks at what the overall performance and success of the
project has been. The main objectives of evaluation are to improve decision-making, resource allocation,
accountability and the development of future projects. Therefore, evaluation should measure and
describe what the activity or service has accomplished and the impact it has had, compare the progress
to the original intention, analyze the reasons for what happened or the changes that occurred and,
based on the answers to these questions, recommend actions for decision-makers.

11
The project evaluation process will take two forms; internal and external evaluation. Project internal
evaluation (mid-term evaluation) will be carried out to measure returnees’ satisfaction with their
situation after they receive the assistance, as well as about the assistance itself. Project partners,
community leaders and beneficiaries will actively partake in the mid-term internal evaluation of the
project.

The external evaluation (terminal evaluation) will be conducted by an independent external firm that
have a professional expertise and have sound experience and track records in undertaking evaluation
with a research specialty in areas of child protection, migration and reintegration areas. The external
evaluation will employ both qualitative and quantitative methodologies using a participatory action-
oriented approach such as a review of project document and reports in-depth interviews, focus group
discussions, surveys and on-site observation. Lessons drawn from periodic monitoring, mid-term and
terminal evaluations will be recorded and documented and shared to partners. PAD will deliver monthly
updates, produce and submit quarterly narrative and financial reports as it is the demand of the donor
and the same will apply to government co-signatories. Accordingly, the following specific activities will
be conducted
1. Conduct quarterly review meeting with local government officials to discuss on the performance of the
project
2. Conduct monitoring visit on regular basis at the project site to provide technical support and oversight the
performance of associations.
3. Conduct review meeting on quarterly basis with association representative to discuss on their performance
4. Prepare regular reports and submit to donor and other stakeholders on timely basis.

6. Project management and Implementation Approach

During the project development variety of strategic approaches for effective, efficient and sustainable
project implementations has been considered. PAD will use a combination of strategies to build
capacities such as training, coaching and mentoring. PAD will also use to scale up its existing and well-
functioning sound experience and capacity in managing participatory community based programs. PAD
so far established referral linkage mechanism and success in initiating and establishing coordination of
stakeholders in mental health care and support ensuring active engagement of government sectors and
university and it build sound opportunity that could be used in establishing service coordination unit in
Dire Dawa. PAD’s partnership with urban job creation agency and city beautification and sanitation
bureau is also the other strategic advantage in managing the proposed integrated community project in
Dire Dawa. PAD’s strong and sound track record in managing various and relevant nature community
based program also assumed to have added value in managing the proposed program. Mutual
understanding on the project among the project stakeholders including government and private
partners to provide technical support during the project implementation and reliable market
opportunity respectively becoming the other very important opportunity and strategic advantage for
the proposed project in Dire Dawa.
