Message of the Chairman
Dear Visitors of our website!
Mengistu Dinato (PhD), Hawassa University
I would like to welcome all visitors of DaIPA (Dawro Intellectuals and Partners Association) official website. Development is a service all societies need equally. However, due to various factors, there is a wide gap across societies in the world and in our country in their level of development. In this regard, the area where Dawro people live has remained one of the underdeveloped parts of the country for a long time. It is a widely accepted fact that attaining sustainable and meaningful development is possible only if it is knowledge-based and well planned. As a result, Dawro Intellectuals and Partners Association (DaIPA) was established with the aim of building a capacity that can contribute its share in identifying the overall development needs and gaps in the zone by research and compiling the findings in a way governmental and non-governmental bodies that conduct development works in different sectors can use.
This association was established on December 4/2019 not for profit, but to render free professional service that focuses on addressing basic development problems of the people. Thus, the association pleads to all Dawros and the partners to contribute in any way that can help the association achieve its objectives. Among the different ways of contributing to this association, one is to be its member. At this juncture, I would like to earnestly request those who reside in the country and abroad to become a member by registering either in person or via online.
We Need to Stand Together to Build Better Dawro
