The Tekeze Lowland Sorghum and Goat livelihood zone is very extensive, spread over parts of Adi Arkay, East Belesa, Dabat, Debark, Janamora, Wegera, Tsegede, Tselemt, Beyeda and West Belesa in North Gonder; Ebenat and Lay Gayint in South Gonder; and nearly the whole of Abergele, Sahla and Ziquala in Wag Hemra, together with a part of Sekota and Dehana.
The information presented refers to October 2005-September 2006, a relatively good year by local standards (i.e. a year of above average production and rural food security, when judged in the context of recent years). Provided there are no fundamental and rapid shifts in the economy, the information in this profile is expected to remain valid for approximately five years (i.e. until 2011).
