Kemba is one of the woredas in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Gamo Gofa Zone, Kemba is bordered on the southwest by the Debub Omo Zone, on the west by Uba Debretsehay, on the northwest by Zala, on the northeast by Deramalo, on the east by Bonke, and on the southeast by the Dirashe special woreda; the Weito River defines the boundary with Bonke and Dirashe. The major town in this woreda is Kemba. Kemba is part of a region known for hilly and undulating midland and upper lowland terrain; due to terrain and weather patterns, less than one in five households is food secure. Food crops include maize, enset, sweet potatoes, taro, teff, and yams; income sources include butter and selling firewood.〔("Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region, Ethiopia Livelihood Profiles: January 2006" ), USAID/FEWSNET, p. 27 (accessed 11 January 2011)〕 According to a 2004 report, Kemba had 31 kilometers of all-weather roads and 8 kilometers of dry-weather roads, for an average road density of 34 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers.〔("Detailed statistics on roads" ), SNNPR Bureau of Finance and Economic Development website (accessed 15 September 2009)〕 == Demographics == Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the CSA, this woreda has a total population of 155,979, of whom 79,273 are men and 76,706 women; 4,702 or 3.02% of its population are urban dwellers.
