The main purpose of this study was to assess the role of NGO’s in organizing AdaptedrnPhysical Education in Addis Ababa City Administration. Based on this purpose briefrnreview of related literature and experiences of some countries were assessed.rnDescriptive survey method was used for the study. Data were gathered from facilitators,rneducation and NGO Officials /experts/ community representatives and disabled learners.rnData were collected from respondents through questionnaire, interview and observationrncheck list. Sampling techniques employed for this study were purposive random andrnavailability sampling. Appropriates statistical tools, (percentage and mean were used inrnorder to analyze qualitative data while narration was used to analyzed qualitative data.rnThe results obtained suggested that both the LNGOs and ENGOs are involved inrnproviding assistance programmers for different developmental projects implemented inrnthe city. Nevertheless, it was found that there is high concentration of NGOs and theirrnprojects on the previous drought prone areas without analyzing the current problems ofrnthe re city. The indings indicated that the majority of the NGOs gave more emphasis tornthe projects on capital investment having only limited amount of their projects spent onrnrecurrent expenditures. Based on the need assessment of the communities, assistance wasrnchanneled through the local government, the NGOs, and through handing overrnoperational projects to the respective beneficiaries. However, it was found that NGOsrncould never encouraged the local community to choose the type of assistance/service theyrnneed in terms of their priorities in their respective areas. The study further revealed thatrnthough efforts have been made in setting up coordinating committees for organizing thernvarious activities of NGOs in APEs, they were entangled with many difficulties and didrnnot make an effort to bring about close work relationships among key power actors. Itrnwas also found that there is no formal relationships among the NGOs and never sharerninformation regarding their intervention activities. The results obtained generallyrnindicated that all the problems cited by the findings are closely related to lack ofrncoordination which the local government has not incorporated NGOs into its policies andrnstructures; and NGOs on their part are not organized to help the local government tornfurther collaboration. On the other hand, even though attempts have been observed tornmonitor and evaluate educational projects, they were concentrated more on monitoringrnphysical dimension or evaluation of infrastructure projects and ignore the sustainability,rnsocial dimension, and impact of expenditures. In addition, it was observed from the studyrnthat there are significant differences among the NGOs' project performance in differentrntarget areas of the city. Finally, based on the findings and conclusions, recommendationsrnwere made to address the problem under study
