North Wollo Zone

Semien Wollo (or North Wollo) is one of 10 zones of the Amhara Region of northern Ethiopia. It is bordered on the south by Debub Wollo (South Wollo), on the west by Debub Gondar (South Gondar), on the north by Wag Hemra, on the northeast by Tigray Region, and on the east by Afar Region; part of its southern border is defined by the Mille River. Its highest point is Mount Abuna Yosef. Its towns include Lalibela (known for its rock-cut churches) and Weldiya (also spelt Woldia). Semien Wollo acquired its name from the former province of Wollo.
== Overview ==
"The name of North Wälo is intimately linked to famine," notes Svein Ege. He lists such famines as the 1966 famine (also known as the "Wag-Lasta famine"), the 1973 famine, and notes the 1984 famine "was worst in Wälo, especially the eastern lowlands."〔Svein Ege and Yigremew Adal, (''Farming assets in North Wälo: statistics, maps and impressions from a travel to North Wälo, October 2000'' ) (Trondheim: NTNU, 2002), p. 1; for further discussion, see pp. 1-8 and sources quoted there.〕 All eight rural woredas of this Zone have 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〕
Most of this Zone is mountainous and characterized by steep slopes, which are unsuitable for agriculture and severely limits the cultivated area. A survey of the land in this Zone shows that 24% is arable or cultivable, 4.6% pasture, 0.37% forest, 17.4% shrubland, 47.3% degraded or unusable, and the remaining 6.3% all other uses.〔Seid Yassin, "Small-Scale Irrigation", p. 34〕 To combat increasing droughts and improve crop yields, 12 irrigation projects have been undertaken in five woredas, affecting 1.64 square kilometers and benefiting 6,783 households.〔Seid Yassin, "Small-Scale Irrigation", p. 42〕
