ABOUT ERHA

Ethiopian Rainwater Harvesting  Association (ERHA) was formed after the workshop in Arusha during which it was resolved to start Rainwater Associations in individual countries in the South Eastern Africa Region. ERHA was established as a result of initiatives taken by concerned Ethiopians who recognized: 

•  The need to alleviate the severe water shortage in many parts of Ethiopia  through utilizing the rainwater resource for domestic water supply, food production and environmental needs and

• The tremendous role that could be played by CSOs in spearheading rainwater harvesting initiatives in Ethiopia.

In December 1999 ERHA was established. On 5th December 2001,  ERHA was formally registered with the Federal Ministry of Justice of FDRE and in 1st July 2002,  ERHA Secretariat was formally established. ERHA also prepared a detailed 5 years strategic plan. The aspirations of ERHA may be put forward as follows:

•  Deliver water to all

• Transparency, accountability Functions / Objectives

• Networking - Research in RWH - Promoting RWH

• Building capacity of collaborating bodies

• Resource mobilization Achievements
