Kebele

A kebele ( Amharic ቀበሌ qäbäle ) is the smallest type of an administrative district in Ethiopia and usually consists of only one village unit.

The administration is organized by local councils. Several kebeles together form a woreda (district). There are a total of around 10,000 Kebele in all of Ethiopia.
