Adda Berga

Adda Berga is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Mirab Shewa Zone, Adda Berga is bordered on the south by Walmara, on the southwest by Ejerie, on the west by Meta Robi, and on the north and east by the Muger River which separates it from the Semien Shewa Zone. Towns in Adda Berga include Enchini, Muger and Reji.

High points in this woreda include Mount Fota (3235 meters). Rivers include the Berga, the main tributary of the upper Awash River. The vegetation of the Berga flood-plain, a part of the vast plains on the Central plateau of Shewa, includes grasses, sedges and other plants peculiar to the area, which include species from the genera Haplocarpha, Ranunculus, Cyperus, and Pennisetum and Andropogon. Although coffee is an important cash crop of this woreda, less than 20 square kilometers are planted with this crop.

The Adda Berga woreda Education Office announced 18 March 2009 that construction of a secondary and five primary schools had begun that January. The construction budget of 9 million Birr was provided by Muger Cement Enterprise and World Vision Ethiopia. Completion of these buildings, scheduled for 2010, would allow 5,000 students to be enrolled, and provide each of 36 kebeles in Adda Berga with a primary school.

The 2007 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 120,654, of whom 60,366 were men and 60,288 were women; 15,940 or 13.21% of its population were urban dwellers. The majority of the inhabitants said they practised Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 88.54% of the population reporting they observed this belief, while 5.7% of the population practiced traditional beliefs, and 5.29% were Protestant.
