Information About

Woreda




Although some woredas can be traced back as institutions to earliest times -- for example the Yem Special Woreda , the Gera and Goma woredas preserve the boundaries of kingdoms that were absorbed into Ethiopia, and the former provinces of Ethiopia were also divided into woredas -- many are of more recent creation. Beginning with 2002 , more authority was passed to woredas, in the form of staff and budgets transferred from the Regional governments.
