Yeki is one of the woredas in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Sheka Zone, Yeki is bordered on the south by the Bench Maji Zone, on the west by the Gambela Region, on the north by Amderacha, and on the east by the Keffa Zone. The major town in Yeki is Tepi. The highest point in Yeki is Mount Teppi (2728 meters), a dormant volcano. Major rivers include the Beko and Shiy. Two varieties of subsistence agriculture are practiced in this woreda: one, in the northwestern corner, is based on growing cereals and enset; the other, in the rest of the woreda, is based on coffee and spices. Important cash crops in the first part include corn, teff, wheat, pulses, and enset; while in the second they are corn, sorghum, coffee, ginger and turmeric. Other important non-agricultural sources of income include selling milk.〔("SNNPR Livelihood Woreda Reports - Kokir Gedbano Gutazer: Key Parameters for Monitoring Livelihoods at Woreda Level" ) (accessed 18 May 2009)〕 According to a 2004 report, Yeki had 76 kilometers of all-weather roads, for an average road density of 126 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers.〔("Detailed statistics on roads" ), SNNPR Bureau of Finance and Economic Development website (accessed 15 September 2009)〕 A 2002 United Nations Emergency Unit for Ethiopia assessment report mentions increasing conflict between the Mezhenger and Sheko, which spilled over into neighboring Godere of the Gambela Region.〔Kerren Hedlund, Abraham Sewonet, and Habtamu Beyene, ("Joint 2002 Mid-Season Assessment to Gambella Region" ), Joint Assessment Mission: 25 August-1 September 2002 (accessed 2 September 2009)〕 == Demographics == Based on the 2007 Census conducted by the CSA, this woreda has a total population of 134,519, of whom 68,895 are men and 65,624 women; 24,829 or 18.46% of its population are urban dwellers.
