Gidan
Gidan is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Wollo Zone, Gidan is bordered on the south by Guba Lafto, on the southwest by Meket, on the west by Lasta (formerly part of Bugna), on the north by the Tigray Region, and on the east by Kobo. Towns in Gidan include Debre Tsehay and Muja.
== Overview ==
The topography of this woreda is characterized by numerous escarpments and generally steep hill slopes; however every hill slope, no matter how steep, is used for cultivation.〔("North Welo - Food Security Situation: Effects of consecutive crop losses on farm households in Selected Areas" ), UNDP-EUE Field report March 1999 (accessed 15 April 2009)〕 The altitude of this woreda ranges from 1300 to over 4100 meters above sea level; the highest point in Gidan is Mount Abuna Yosef, on the border with Lasta (formerly Bugna).〔Svein Ege, ("North Wälo 1:100,000. Topographic and administrative map of North Wälo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia" ). Trondheim, NTNU, 2002〕 Rivers include the Tellare, a tributary of the Tekezé, along which Lieutenant-General Napier's men marched in 1868, after leaving the Dafat Pass.〔C. R. Markham, ("Geographical Results of the Abyssinian Expedition", ''Journal of the Royal Geographical Society'' ), 38 (1868), pp. 40f〕
Gidan, as well as the other seven rural woredas of this Zone, has been grouped amongst the 48 woredas identified as the most drought prone and food insecure in the Amhara Region.〔Seid Yassin, ("Small-Scale Irrigation and Household Food Security: A Case Study of Three Irrigation Schemes in Gubalafto Woreda of North Wollo Zone, Amhara Region" ), Master's Thesis, Graduate School of the University of Addis Ababa (June 2002), p. 35〕 Almost no trees can be seen in this barren landscape. Deep erosion gullies and the gravel, stone and rock covered valley bottoms attest to extensive land degradation. An inspection in 1999 by members of the UNDP-EUE concluded that these slopes and escarpment areas were being used too intensively and in a highly unsustainable way.〔
