Meket
Meket is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.〔Svein Ege identifies this woreda with one otherwise known as Saron Meda. ("North Wälo 1:100,000. Topographic and administrative map of North Wälo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia" ). Trondheim, NTNU, 2002〕 It is named after a former district located approximately in this area.〔Mentioned in the ''Royal Chronicle'' of Bakaffa, who gave it over to his Oromo soldiers to be plundered, while returning from a campaign in 1726. (James Bruce, ''Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile'' (1805 edition), vol. 4 p. 88)〕 Located on the western side of the Semien Wollo Zone, Meket is bordered on the south by Wadla and Dawunt, on the west by the Debub Gondar Zone, on the northwest by Bugna, on the north by Lasta, on the northeast by Gidan, and on the east by Guba Lafto. The administrative center of Meket is Filakit Gereger; other settlements include Agrit, Arbit, Gashena and Debre Zebit.
== Overview ==
This woreda extends from the divide between the Tekezé and Bashilo watersheds northwards, with elevations ranging from about 1200 at the northwesternmost point to over 3000 meters above sea level along the eastern part of its southern border.〔 Rivers include the Checheho which has its source in this woreda. Filakit Gereger lies on the main Debre Tabor - Nefas Mewcha highway (also known as the Chinese road), and except for those of the eastern lowland woredas it is the only woreda capital with an all-year link to the Zonal capital of Weldiya.〔Hans Spiess, ("Field Trip Report to South Gonder, North Welo and Oromiya Zones of Region 3 (Amhara) and the Southern Zone of Region 1 (Tigray)" ) UNDP-EUE Report (accessed 22 January 2009)〕
Meket, 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〕 To combat increasing droughts and improve crop yields, two irrigation projects have been undertaken in this woreda by the Commission for Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Rehabilitation in the Amhara Region, affecting 75 hectares and benefiting 270 households.〔Seid Yassin, "Small-Scale Irrigation", p. 42〕
