Naeder Adet

Naeder Adet is one of the woredas in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Mehakelegnaw Zone, Naeder Adet is bordered on the south by the Wari River which separates it from Kola Tembien, on the west by Semien Mi'irabawi (North Western) Zone, on the northwest by Tahtay Maychew, on the northeast by La'ilay Maychew, and on the east by Werie Lehe. The administrative center of this woreda is Semema; other towns in Naeder Adet include Edaga Selus.

This woreda is named for the two historic districts that were combined to create it, Naeder and Adet. Adet is the western part and Naeder is the eastern. Naeder is mentioned in a fifteenth-century land charter of Emperor Zara Yaqob, and also occasionally over the centuries afterwards.

The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation announced that it would provide 24-hour electrical service to five towns in Adwa, La'ilay Maychew and Naeder Adet, reaching a total of 100,000 new clients in all of the woredas. This new service would begin in June, 2007.
