Location of Garadoumé in Niger

Garadoumé (also: Garadimi , Garadou , Gradoumé ) is a village in the municipality of Bouza in Niger .

The settlement is located around 16 kilometers southwest of the city center of Bouza, which belongs to the Bouza department of the same name in the Tahoua region. Larger villages around Garadoumé are the approximately eight kilometers southwest location Kélémé and about 15 kilometers west location Assoudjé .

Garadoumé has grown together from three parts, each with their own traditional local chiefs ( chefs traditionnels ): Garadoumé Hayi, Garadoumé Koré and Garadoumé Lougou. A British border commission, which was supposed to define the spheres of influence between the United Kingdom and France , found sea ​​urchins at Garadoumé in 1904 - fossils from the Eocene , described by Francis Arthur Bather . To the east of the village, on a side valley of the Maggia , is the Garadoumé dam, built in 1968 . The CARE organization financed a development project in which, from 1975 at Garadoumé and later in other places in the upper Maggia valley, extensive wind protection strips were laid. The project was able to counteract soil erosion in the region. In the 1978 novel Aboki ou L'appel de la côte by Mahamadou Halilou Sabbo , Garadoumé is one of the locations.

At the 2012 census, Garadoumé had 5749 inhabitants who lived in 829 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 4,249 in 675 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 3,206 in 521 households.
