In Ethiopia the local Administration of Mojo has granted a 500 square metre plot of land to the Mojo Horse Cart Owners’ Association for the construction of its office, store, workshop and other activities. This land was promised to the Association at an earlier workshop organised by the Ethiopian National Forum for Rural Transport and Development (ENFRTD), as an incentive to strengthening the organisation. The Association is now making the necessary preparations towards making effective use of the land. The Association has a membership of more than 270 horse cart owners who provide basic transport services to the residents of Mojo town and the rural areas around Mojo.
