Mam Midrina Lalo Midir

Mam Midrina Lalo Midir is one of the 105 woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. It is named in part after the central and southern districts of the former province of Menz, Mama Meder and Lalo Meder. The woreda capital is Molale; other towns in Mam Midrina Lalo Midir include Midwegere.

Located at the eastern edge of the Ethiopian highlands in the Semien Shewa Zone, Mam Midrina Lalo Midir is bordered on the south by Mafud Mezezo Mojana, on the west and north by Gera Midira Keya Gebriel, on the northeast by Efratana Gidim, and on the east by Kewet. The topography of this woreda has been described as consisting of 40% plains, 50% undulating hills, and 10% steep hills and cliffs. Although it has six primary schools, they were not built to minimum standards or quality. A lack of roads and bridges hinder the movement of the local inhabitants.

Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 141,678, of whom 72,296 were males and 69,382 were females; 6458 or 4.56% of its population are urban dwellers, which is less than the Zone average of 11.8%. With an estimated area of 1,002.50 square kilometers, Mam Midrina Lalo Midir has an estimated population density of 141.3 people per square kilometer, which is greater than the Zone average of 134.37.

This woreda was selected as one of the three areas for Agri-Service Ethiopia to impliment an Integrated Rural Development Program. This Program operates in 10 kebeles, which cover 30% of the woreda's area. The Program's goals include improving agricultural practices by addressing the degraded crop lands, improving rural water sources, and improving the health and sanitation status of the inhabitants in the targeted area as well as reducing child mortality by 25% by the end of 2002. Improvements to the local infrastructure were made, most notably by the construction of two light bridges in June 2002.
