Abstract
The main objective of this study was to investigate the role ofNGOs to primary education
development projects in Central, Eastern and Southern zones of Tigray Regional
Government. To conduct this study, a descriptive survey method was employed.
The samples were taken from 7 woredas and 35 schools. The research study involved two
categories of sample population: NGO and GOs employees. Questionnaire, interview,
documents, and observation were the main instruments used to collect the data. Data
analysis was made by using statistical tools such as percentage, chi-square and rank order
correlation coefficient to identify whether there are differences and agreements in the
judgment of the respondents regarding the various variables on the role ofNGOs.
The results obtained suggested that both the LNGOs and INGOs involved in providing
assistance for di fferent development projects implemented in the region. Assistance
was channeled through the local government, the NGOs and through handing over
operational projects to the respective beneficiaries.
It was found that there no formal relationship among the NGOs and never share
information regarding their intervention activities. The results obtained generally
indicated that all the problems closely related to lack of coordination which the local
government has not incorporated NGOs into its policies and structures.

difference among the NGOs' projects performance in different target areas of the region.
