The committee in Alem Katema
On the Ethiopian side, the association is opposed by a committee of citizens from the town of Alem Katema. It consists of representatives of politics, civil society and employees of the association facilities. Since 2014, there is a “permanent secretary” as managing director, who is paid by the association and is available every day for all tasks of the association and helps to shape them.
