Bila Seyo

Bila Seyo was one of the 180 woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It was divided between Gobu Seyo and Gudeya Bila woredas. Part of the Misraq (East) Welega Zone, Bila Seyo was bordered on the south by Wama Bonaya, on the southwest by Sibu Sire, on the west by Guto Wayu, on the north by Abe Dongoro, on the northeast by Jimma Horo, and on the east by the Mirab Shewa Zone. The administrative center of the woreda was Ano; other towns in Bila Seyo included Bila and Jare.

The altitude of this woreda ranges from 1300 to 2810 meters above sea level. Peaks include Mount Uko, Mount Buke, Mount Deleta and Mount Gushis. Rivers include the Aleltu, Kurchi, Gorochan and Gibe. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 38.7% is arable or cultivable, 9.6% pasture, 39.5% forest, and the remaining 12.2% is considered marshy, mountainous or otherwise unusable. A state forest about 250 square kilometers in size is located in this woreda. Cash crops include niger seeds and pepper.

Industry in the woreda includes 12 grain mills; iron and sandstone are extracted. There were 15 Farmers Associations with 17,061 members and 13 Farmers Service Cooperatives with 6826 members. Bila Seyo has 53 kilometers of all-weather road, for an average of road density of 46.7 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers. About 15.6% of the total population has access to drinking water. There are 12 primary schools in this woreda, four providing education for grades 1-4 and eight providing education for grades 1-8, and one secondary education school, providing education for grades 9-10. Health services are provided by two clinics and four health posts; these facilities are ill-equipped and under-staffed, making them insufficient to reach the entire population.
