Network and Reach
REM is organized around a scalable and intentional network model designed to grow impact while staying rooted in local communities.
Our Story
The REM Network Model
The REM model utilizes a structured, four-tier grassroots approach designed to transition individual effort into national collective action. This framework ensures that the Self EQUIP TEAM (SET) approach is sustainable, scalable, and well-coordinated.
Our Network
The Structural Hierarchy
SET (Self EQUIP TEAM)
The foundational Self-Help Group. This is where individual members gather for primary socioeconomic empowerment and spiritual growth.
LONet (Local Network)
Formed by bringing together 3 to 5 SET groups. LONet focuses on community-level collaboration and local resource sharing.
ReNet (Regional Network)
A cluster of multiple Local Networks (LONets). ReNet oversees regional strategy, provides technical support, and facilitates larger-scale initiatives.
NaNet (National Network)
The National Coordination Center. This body leads, manages, and provides oversight for all group types across the country, ensuring alignment with REM’s mission.
Empowerment (SET to LONet
Individual groups (SET) find strength in numbers by forming Local Networks, allowing them to tackle challenges that a single group cannot solve alone.
Scale (ReNet)
By organizing LONets into Regional Networks, REM ensures that the SET approach adapts to the specific cultural and economic contexts of different regions in Ethiopia.
Governance (NaNet)
As the apex body, the National Network acts as the central nervous system, managing data, upholding standards, and representing the SET approach to stakeholders and the Ethiopia Council of Gospel Believers' Churches.
