The reorganization was wide ranging

Ministership and three commissioners.
After a few words on the
institutional aspect of the reform,
I shall comment on some salient
features of the reorganization, and
then criticize two current
interpretations of it.

First, an overall view of the reorganizations:

government operations will shift The control of
from the Dergue and CPSC to the COPWE.
(a) The Dergue, i.e. the Executive Committee, members are
taking executive positions. all but one
Instead of dominating ministries without
direct responsibility in their operations, they now become ministers.
The case in point is Fikre Selassie,

position in the hierarchy, who is becoming retaining his second
Prime Minister. Berhanu
Dayih who supervised foreign affairs
takes a ministrial post (Labour
and Social Affairs). The Party (COPWE) is strengthened by
transfer of Fiesseha Desta (third man the
was in the Dergue), former

ieduarnes Washington, D.C, US A

 -2-

Prime Minister, and the maintenance of Legesse Asfaw. I interpret all

of this as a further step in the disappearance of the "Dergue" as
previously understood (government in the shadow). It is a stream-
lining of government hierarchy aslong rraditional lines and non-
executives will not interfer in the near future.
(b) The Central Planning Supreme Council (CPSC) is undoubtedly
weakened by the transfer of its second and third men to executive
positions. The Senior Minister Hailu Yemenu becomes Minister of
Industry, his Deputy Tekola Dejene becomes Minister of Agriculture.
Addis Tedla, Dergue member, remains in the commanding position in
CPSC with an overall responsibility over economic ministries. I
have the feeling that CPSC will lose its heavy hand in controling
ministries a priori. It may be confined to plan preparation with
less competence in day to day operations.
(c) While the Dergue and CPSC may exert lesser control over
ministries, it is likely that COPWE will be strengthened with a view
to excuting this control. The Party apparatus is not yet in a
position to be heavy, and it will take some time (six months to two
years) for it to be organized and staffed. As I jokingly said to
two ministers who acquiesced "You, Ministers, are going to have a
relatively good time for about one year, but later on it may
become difficult".

Second, I see three major fueature in the reorganization:

(a) The Foreign Affairs line is changed: Berhanu Bayih becoming
Minister of Labour, Feleke Gedle Georgis being clearly set aside
as Minister of Information. The transfer of Goshu Wolde from
Education to Foreign Affairs will mean a more even, smoother
running of Foreign Affairs. Goshu Wolde will be a much better
interlocutor with western countries if the government decides to
improve its realtions with them as it seems to be willing and some
what obliged to do.
(b) Priority was clearly given'in the reorganization to "productive"
ministries: agriculutre, industry, and as far as we concerned
"finance". These moves are very welcome by all quarters; they are
the best which could be made. I am also sure that our colleagues in
Education Projects will welcome the promotion of Bililign Mandefro.
(c) The sacking in the Relief and Rehabilitaiton Commission stands
out with the removal of Commissioner Shimelis Adugna and his two
deputies. No doubt that RRC needed better organization and
management. I remember the Bank Economic Mission complaining last
month that there were no data on past activities of RRC!

Third, two interpretation of the reorganization have been given

by some press agencies and other quarters:
(a) "The changes were aimed at a strengthening of Chairman Mengistu's
position" This is plainly ridiculous, the Chairman did not need to
be reinforced; he was and is in charge. Similarly, Fikre Selassie
alsays was a very powerful second man. His appointment as Prime
Ministre, giving him the instruments directly, is an evidence of
Mengistu's trust in him. One can speculate to what extent Mengistu
will "reign" and Fikre Selassie "act".
 -3-

(b) "The changes reflect the hidden and heavy hand of Soviet influence"
I understand that this was the U.S. State Department's interpretation.
I fail to see specific sign in these changes which would support this
view. It is even reported that the Chairman effected the main reorgani-
zation without consultation with anybody! Of course these is no lean
indication of move towards the west (though Foreign Affairs will
now be better again for doing so, see above); of course, the party
may become more important in the future (see above); but I see this
reorganization as streamlining and reshuffling technical operation
without much "political" significance.

All above is tentative; it is an exercise in political analysis

which is not in World Bank staff realm of expertise and competence.
In addition, it was written in the hour preceding Mr. Wapenhans'
departure!

Sincerely yours,

Robert Maubouche

DESCON 4/11 ETHIOPIA

Establishment of Fuelwood Plantations for the Townships of Dese,

Debre Birhan, Nazret and Dire Dawa: Phase I

Area: Forestry

Government Agency: Forest and Wildlife Con-

servation and Development
Authority (FAWCDA)
Duration: 1983-1985 Three Years

Total Cost: US$ 5.31 million

Government Contribution: US$ 1.5 million

Additional Financing Required: US$ 3.81 million

One of the development objectives of the Government of Ethiopia is to

become as self-sufficient in energy as possible. In regard to household
comsumption, the use of imported fossil fuels is not to be encouraged but,
rather, locally available sources of energy are to be relied upon,
including fuelwood. In view of the threat of desertification in all of
Ethiopia if existing forest lands were relied upon to meet fuelwood
demand, a reforestation programme to supply fuelwood and poles has been
established by the Forestry and Wildlife Conservation and Development
Authority (FAWCDA). Within this strategy, this project will furnish
fuelwood for four towns in Ethiopia chosen by the Government as a
priority in view of their pressing needs. These towns are: Dire Dawa
(Harrarghe Region), Debre Birhan (Shoa Region), Dese (Wollo Region) and
Nazret (Shoa Region).

The immediate objectives of this project are to:

1) To provide start-up costs in each of the four townships to

construct the necessary infrastructure, and to establish initial
plantations in each location during a three year period in order
to develop and refine planting techniques. These activities
form phase I of a multi-phased project to provide for fuelwood
supply to meet the entire fuelwood demand, which is estimated to
be 412,300 (m3 solid) by 1992. Given expected growth rates in
Ethiopia, this will require the eventual establishment of 30,590
hectares.

2) Other, important objectives of the afforestation programme are:

soil and water conservation, employment, import substitution and
enhanced agricultural crop yields through the release of dung
and agricultural wastes from fuel use and their return to the
soil.
 -2-

Over a three year period, the project would establish 2,200 hectares
of Eucalyptus globulus and other suitable species in the vicinities of
Dese (500 hectares), Debre Birhan (500 hectares), Nazret (500 hectares)
and Dire Dawa (700 hectares). In Nazret a new nursery will be
constructed, while existing nurseries will be strengthened in the other
locations. Roads will be constructed to provide access within the
plantation sites and to serve as firebreaks. The planting itself will be
carried out by the local population on a wage labour basis under the
supervision of FAWCDA, which is responsible for project execution. Each
location included in the project can be implemented separately (Dese
US$.94, Debre Birhan US$.86 million, Nazret US$.94 million, Dire Dawa
US$1.07 million). Furthermore, the cost in each location can be modified
by adjusting the number of hectares to be planted during Phase I.

The project will provide the basis for the production of the best
possible quality fuelwood consistent with good silviculture techniques,
management and environmental considerations to satisfy at an affordable
level of household income the fuelwood needs of the population.
Production-level plantation establishment will take place in subsequent
phases of the programme, based on silviculture and management techniques
to be refined during this phase.

The project addresses principally recommendation 9 of the Plan of

Action to Combat Desertification, on the protection and/or revegetation
of vulnerable lands.

Dese, Debre Birhan, Nazareth et Dire Dawa: Phase I

Secteur: Foresterie

Agence d'ex4cution du Gouvernement: Administration pour la conserva-

tion et mise en valeur des forets
et de la faune

Durde: 1983 - 1988 Trois ans

CoOt total: 5,31 Millions $ EU

Contribution du Gouvernment: 1,5 Million $ EU
Financement additionel requis: 3,81 Millions $ EU

L'un des objectifs de ddveloppement du Gouvernement dthiopien est

d'atteindre des que possible le stade de l'autosuffisance en
matiare
d'dnergie. Pour la consommation mdnagare, il y a lieu de ne pas
encour-
ager l'utilisation de combustibles fossil4s import4s, mais d'avoir
plut8t
recours aux sources d'4nergie disponibles localement, et notamment
en
bois de chauffe. On considare que toute l'Ethiopie serait menacde
de d4-
sertification si l'on comptait sur les seules forets existantes pour
satisfaire la demande en bois de chauffe. Pour cette raison,
l'Administration pour la conservation et la mise en valeur des forats et
de la faune sauvage a 4tabli un programme de reboisement en vue d'assurer
l'approvisionnement en bois de chauffe et en baliveaux. Dans le cadre
de
cette stratdgie, le pr4sent projet fournira du bois de chauffe A
quatre
villes prioritaires d'Ethiopie, choisies par le Gouvernement en raison
du
caractere pressant de leurs besoins. Il s'agit de Dire Dawa (rdgion de
Harrarghe), de Debre Birhan (rdgion de Shoa), de Dese (rdgion
de Wollo)
et de Nazareth (rdgion de Shoa).

Les objectifs immudiats du projet sont les suivants:

1). Obtenir les fonds necessaires a la construction de

l'infrastructure requise dans chacune des quatre villes.
D4velopper et amdliorer les techniques de plantation, par

 -2-

de faire face & une demande estim4e A 412.300 m 3 (brut) en

1992. Ce projet correspond approximativement A l'am4nagement de
30.590 ha, si l'on tient compte du taux de croissance en
Ethiopie;

2) Les autres objectifs principaux de ce programme de reboisement

sont les suivants: la conservation de l'eau et du sol, la
crdation de nouveaux emplois, la substitution des importations
par la production locale et l'amdlioration du rendement des
rdcoltes (en empechant le ramassage des matibres v4g4tales et
des excrdments, destin4s I servir de combustible, pour pouvoir
les utiliser comme engrais).

Sur une pdriode de trois ans, le projet ddbouchera sur l'amdnagement

de 2.200 hectares de plantations d'eucalyptus globulus, ou d'autres
essences approprides, pras des villes de Dese (500 ha), Debre Birhan (500
ha), Nazareth (500 ha) et Dire Dawa (700 ha). Une nouvelle pdpiniire
sera amdnagde A Nazareth, alors que lon se contentera d'entretenir les
p4pinibres existantes dans les autres villes. Des routes seront
amanagges pour donner acces aux sites des plantations selectionnges et
servir de pare-feu. Les opdrations de plantation proprement dites seront
effectuges par la population locale, moyennant rdmun4ration, sous la
supervision de l'Administration pour la conservation et la mise en valeur
des forets et de la faune sauvage, responsable pour la mise en oeuvre du
projet. L'ainnagement de chacune des zones pourra 6tre poursuivi
individuellement. Cela reprdsentera un coft de 0,94 million $ EU pour
Dese, 0,86 million pour Debre Birhan, 0,94 million $ EU pour Nazareth et
1,07 million $ EU pour Dire Dawa; coat qui pourra d'ailleurs 8tre
modifig, pour chacune des zones, en ajustant le nombre d'hectares & Stre
plant~s pendant la Phase I.

Le but du projet est de produire sur des bases de gestion saines et

en employant des methodes de sylviculture respectant l'6quilibre
Ecologique - du bois de chauffe, de la meilleure qualitd possible, A des
prix accessibles et en quantitg suffisante pour satisfaire les besoins de
la population. L'am4nagement des plantations qui permettront d'assurer
cette production fera l'objet des phases suivantes et emploiera les
techniques de sylviculture et de gestion ddveloppdes dans la premire
phase.

Ce projet rdpond plus particuliarement A la recommandation 9 du Plan

d'Action pour combattre la Ddsertification, traitant de la protection
et/ou de la restauration de la vdgdtation dans les zones vulndrables.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Sven Burmester, Chief, EA2DB DATE: September 13 82

FROM: Robert Maubouche, Res n presentative, Ethiopia

SUBJECT: ETHIOPIA - Overview of the Current Situation

As prepared at your request during my short visit at

headquarters, please find below a brief review of the current situation
and outlook of Ethiopia.

Whereas the first part of 1982 was dominated by the "Red

Star" military and economic campaign in Eritrea, it is likely that the
latter part of this year will be that of a diplomatic opening to the
West, the second one since early 1981. This was inaugurated in June
by an invitation to the European Ambassadors to tour Eritrea (the first
time in the last five years) and recently culminated with wide-ranging
economic and financial agreements with Italy (see Deane Jordan's
back-to-office report) while a number of ministers have resumed their
visits to European countries.

The Ethiopian Government probably feels that it has little to

expect from the Eastern bloc in the coming year or two: additional
military equipment was delivered in March/April, the agreement for the
subsidized supply of petroleum will still be in force for a number of
months, investment projects are on going, if not lagging-behind and few
new commitments are in the mill after the hydroelectric project (see
Jordan's BTO). At the same time, Ethiopia may want to lay the bases
for an aid-givers meeting to take place in mid-1983. This meeting would
yield to the UNCTAD/UNDP pressures for holding it, if it sees good
prospects for mobilizing concessionary aid on an unprecedented scale.
As ever, future assistance from Libya is an enormous unknown despite
sustained assurances from Libyan authorities that they will finance the
Finchaa Sugar Project, the Danakil Potash project and other mining
ventures together with a strong effort to agricultural developments.

One can also see the background of this western overture in the
end of the Eritrean campaign which was concluded early this year with
little more than a military stalemate. This offensive that started
after the rainy season, late last year, succeeded in stemming the progress
that the various opposing guerillas had made since 1979. However, it has
not achieved any substantial territorial gain. By concentrating on the
most northern part of Eritrea, it has revealed the strength of the
guerilla movements in Tigrai and Wollo which took advantage of the moves
of the Ethiopian armed forces. This military campaign has been costly,
though much less than the US sources have claimed before any assessment
could be made. I believe that the greatest impact has been on the
diversion of the government attention away from the country's economic
development needs during the major part of FY1981/1982. Policy-makers
and civil servants spent most of the year in Asmara to promote new
investment projects in Eritrea (schools, hospitals, roads) somewhat
at the expense of on-going developments in the rest of the country.
The result has been altogether a considerable underspending of the
government capital budget.

The enthusiasm of the Red Star Campaign has lost its momentum,
and the Government seems to have resumed normal activities in Addis Ababa.

Some comments on the economic situation and the planning

prospects were given in my recent cable from Addis that you will find
attached.

FOR GRAINS. THIS RESULTED IN A SOMEWHAT HIGHER RESOURCE GAP AND NO

EDI's 1982 Rural Credit Projects Course -- Applications from Ethiopians

1.. We have reviewed the three applications from Ethiopians for EDI's 1982
Rural Credit Projects Course: (i) Mr. Teshome Tafari from the Ministry of
Agriculture; (ii) Mr. Yeshitla Yehulawork from the Agricultural and Industrial
Development Bank (AIDB); and (iii) Mr. Lulseged Wolde Selassie from the Commercial
Bank of Ethiopia.

2. All three candidates are well-qualified, and each could contribute

substantially to the duccess of the course. Staff of the Bank know Mr. Tafari
well, and recommend him highly. He has been actively invoved with Bank activities
in the agricultural sector, which receives the large part of Bank assistance
in Ethiopia. The position that Mr. Tafari occupies is a critical one from the point
of view of Bank projects. Although he is not specifically concerned with rural
credit operations, he has a high level of responsibility for planning and
programming Ethiopia's agricubtural development activities.

3. I do not know the other two candidates personally, but would choose
Mr. Yehulawork for the Course over Mr. Selassie, primarily because we have been
actively supporting AIDB through our lending work. AIDB is directly involved with
rural credit under Bank-assisted projects and its lending is directed much more
towards peasant farmers than is that of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia.
Mr. Yehulawork's position in AIDB does not involve him directly in rural credit
operations, but he could well find himself in a more related position in AIDB
at any time.

Dear Mrs. Boskey,

Report on Development Assistance to Ethiopia in 1980

As you may know, every year our Office prepares a report on

Development Assistance, as part of its normal functions. The report
which covers development assistance provided to Ethiopia by donor
institutions or countries either on a multilateral or bilateral basis,
is compiled to serve as a source of information and reference for those
concerned.

We are pleased to forward herewith 5 copies of the report. We

have tried to be as comprehensive as possible. However, it was not
always possible to obtain the relevant data from donors, and, therefore,
in a few cases, the information presented is incomplete.

We hope you will find the report useful.

Topics Rg n

A. Existing Cofinancing

1. ADB cofinanced the following two projects that are still being
implemented, but on which thcre are no major issues:

(a) Rangel nds Development Project

($27 million Credit 603-ET of January 16, 1976;

Closing Date June 30, 1981)

2. ADB provided the equivalent of a $5.5 million credit to parallel

finance ranches, a feedlot, a smallholder program and roads in the Southern
Rangelands subproject. Project implementation has not progressed as fast
as expected at nppraisal primarily because of security problems. however,
security has t'proved in two of the three subproject areas, including the
Southern Raneglands, and this is being reflected in increased development
and service activity. A key phase of the project -- range rehabilitation
and management - has still to be carried out. Consideration is being given
to an extension of theCClosing Date.

(b) Revised Amibara IrriFation Project

($25 million Credit 707-ET of November 7, 1977;

Closing Date September 30, 1985)

3. ADB provided the equivalent of a $5.5 million credit to parallel

finance the western flood dyke; environmental controls; project supervision
supplies; the equipment, vehicles and buildings and housing for the state
farms; and part of the buildings add housing at PROJECT HEADQUARTERS.
Physical implementation of the project is almost on schedule; but on-farm
works are behind schedule. Significant delays have been experienced in the
preparation of settlement plans and alternative grazing areas for the Afar
people, and we have raised this issue with the Government.

B. Future Cofinancing

(European Development Fund)

Existing Co-financing

1. Existing co-financing with the EEC/EDF involves only the

Revised Amibara Irrigation Project ($25 million Credit 707-ET of
November 7, 1977). The EDF provided about $16.9 million equivalent
to parallel finance on-farm development, farm machinery, and equip-
ment, vehicles, buildings and housing for the settlement component
of the project. Physical implementation is progressing satisfactorily.
The construction of headworks and irrigation systems is mostly on
schedule, but the on-farm works are behind schedule. The quality
of the on-farm works, however, has improved recently. A key project
issue is the Government's slow progress in preparing settlement plans
and alternative grazing areas for the Afar people. We have been
pressing the Government on this issue at every opportunity.

Proposed Finchaa Sugar Project

2. The Government has invited EDF, EIB, ADB and the Bank to help
finance a new sugar plantation and factory at Finchaa. The project
could cost upwards of $300 million of which about half would be in
foreign exchange. We received the detailed project preparation report
prepared by Shawinigan Engineering Ltd. of Montreal and Mr. J.
Shivakumar, the Projects Officer, had prelimianry discussions on it
with the Government in early April. We have scheduled a pre-appraisal
mission for May 9 to June 5, 1981 that might be converted into a full
appraisal if circumstances permit while the mission is in the field.
We have informed EDF, EIB and ADB of this mission and have invited them
to participate.

Addis-Djibouti Railway

3. Although we have no railway project planned for Ethiop&a

at the present time, it would be useful to explore whether the EEC
is considering the provision, of assistance to rehabilitate this
railway. We understand the EEC is carrying out a pre-investment
study.

Other Projects

4. It would also be useful to explore the EEC's interest in

theproposed Power III (FY83) (hydroelectric powerand transmission)
and Highways VIII (FY83S) projects. Preparation missions for both
of these projects are currently in the field. We understand, however,
that the EEC is currently financing a power transmission project.

Subject: Country Programme Management Plan (CPMP)

January-June 1981

Please find enclosed two copies of

the Country Programme Management
Plan for Ethiopia covering the period January to June
1981. You will
observe from PART I that the Country Programme
is to be reviewed in ay/
June this year. We do not envisage, at
this stage, that it would be
necessary for Headquarters staff of the
United Nations Agencies to participate.
We wish to solicit your assistance
in subnitting the rephased budgets
reflecting actual expenditure
for 1980 as early as possible.

Your comments and reaction to the

CPMP would also be appreciated.
