Gog is a woreda in Gambela Region, Ethiopia. Part of the Anuak Zone, Gog is bordered on the south by Dimma, on the southwest by the Akobo River which separates it from South Sudan, on the west by Jor, and on the north by Abobo. The major town in Gog is Fugnido.
The terrain of Gog is predominantly flat, with the elevation ranging between 400 and 600 meters above sea level; high points include Mount Masango (552 meters). Major bodies of water in this woreda include the Gilo River and Lake Tata. According to the Atlas of the Ethiopian Rural Economy published by the Central Statistical Agency (CSA), around 30% of the woreda is forest.[1] A notable landmark is the Gambela National Park, which occupies the land west of the Fugnido - Gambela road.
The economy of Gog is predominantly agricultural. There are no agricultural cooperatives, and little other infrastructure.[2] While there are roads in this woreda, details about them are not available.
