 Establishment
of ODA
The inadequacy of government budget in ameliorating the
deteriorating living condition in Oromia is indisputable. Therefore,
as an additional development force, to the ongoing development
efforts, the Oromia Development Association was established as
a non profit making indigenous NGO in March 1993 by some concerned
persons of Oromia with a view to mitigating the development problems
of the region by mobilizing local and external resources. |
Vision
ODA aspires to see Oromia free from poverty and backwardness.

Mission

focusing primarily on the rural community, through construction
of basic infrastructure, provision of social services such as
education, health, water, preserving and maintaining the ecological
balance and enhancing productivity based on the principles of
self-reliance.
