Wards of Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, a ward or kebele (Amharic: ቀበሌ, romanized: kʼebelē; Oromo: Gandaa; Tigrinya: ታቢያ, romanized: tābiyā, lit. 'neighbourhood') is the smallest administrative unit: a ward, a neighbourhood or a localized and delimited group of people. It is part of a district, which is typically part of a zone, which in turn are grouped into the regions or chartered cities that comprise the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

Each ward consists of at least 500 families, the equivalent of 3,500 to 4,000 people. Every town with more than 2,000 population has at least one. A district's representative had jurisdiction over its wards.
