Agew Awi Zone

Agew Awi Zone extends across 9,148 square kilometers of fertile land with elevations ranging from 1,800 to 3,100 meters above sea level.

The zone derives its name from the Awi subgroup of the Agaw people who established their traditional land management systems centuries ago.

The population consists of 59 percent Awi ethnic group and 38 percent Amhara ethnic group, with Amharic and Awngi as primary languages.

The administrative center Injibara connects to other towns including Chagni, Tilili, Adis Kidame, and Dangila through a network of regional roads.

The region contains nine permanent rivers flowing into the Blue Nile, two crater lakes named Zengena and Tirba, and the extensive Zimbiri marsh.
