evidence: According to the Gambella Regional Government’s "Villagization Program Plan 2003 EFY" for 2010, the goal of Gambella’s program is to "provide basic socioeconomic infrastructures" and "ultimately to enable them food secured [their food security] and to bring socioeconomic & cultural transformation of the people."[42] The original concept was to resettle 45,000 households across Gambella region over the three years of the life of the project, with approximately 15,000 households the first year. However, according to media reports and a subsequent implementation plan,[43] 26,000 households will be moved in the first year because, according to Gambella Governor Omod Obang, "the resettlers are showing keen interest for the program."[44] In his letter to Human Rights Watch, Shiferaw Teklemariam stated that 20,243 households were moved the first year (2010/2011).[45]
