Districts of Ethiopia, also called woredas (Amharic: ወረዳ; Oromo: Aanaa[1] woreda), are the third level of the administrative divisions of Ethiopia – after zones and the regional states.
These districts are further subdivided into a number of wards called kebele neighbourhood associations, which are the smallest unit of local government in Ethiopia.
