Gida Ayana and Kiremu is a woreda in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the East Welega Zone, Gida Ayana and Kiremu is bordered on the south by Guto Gida, on the west by Limmu, on the northwest by Ibantu, on the east by Horo Gudru Welega Zone, and on the north by the Blue Nile river. The administrative center of the woreda is Gida Ayana; other towns include Gutin and Kiremu.
This district is characterized by undulating hills north of Dicho Ridge and by plains south of it; it was once covered by extensive forests, but as of 2005 only a few fragments remain. Rivers within the woreda include the Werabessa, Wajja, Chinia and Werabu. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 65.7% is arable or cultivable (61% was under annual crops), 22.8% pasture, 8.7% forest, and the remaining 2.8% is considered unusable. Sesame and khat are two important cash crops.[1] A third is Coffee, but less than 20 km2 is planted with this crop.[2]
