Humbo is one of the woredas in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Wolayita Zone located in the Great Rift Valley, Humbo is bordered on the southeast by Lake Abaya which separates it from the Oromia Region, on the south by the Gamo Gofa Zone, on the west by Offa, on the northwest by Sodo Zuria, on the northeast by Damot Weyde, and on the east by the Bilate River which separates it from the Sidama Zone. The administrative center of Humbo is Tebela. According to a 2004 report, Humbo had 25 kilometers of asphalt roads, 24 kilometers of all-weather roads and 51 kilometers of dry-weather roads, for an average road density of 118 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers.〔("Detailed statistics on roads" ), SNNPR Bureau of Finance and Economic Development website (accessed 15 September 2009)〕 == History == Humbo was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2003 as an area for voluntary resettlement for farmers from overpopulated areas, becoming the new home for 658 heads of households.〔("Resettlement 2003" ), Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA) (accessed 26 November 2006)〕 This included 618 heads of households selected from overpopulated parts of Humbo, Boloso Sore, Kindo Koysha, Sodo Zuria, Damot Weyde, and Damot Gale who were resettled at a new village at the southeastern part of the woreda near Lake Abaya, beginning in May.〔("Resettlement as a Response to Food Insecurity" ), UN-EUE Report May/June 2003 (accessed 19 February 2009)〕 Two kebeles in Humbo were flooded after the Bilate burst its banks between 24 and 30 April 2005. According to unconfirmed field reports the flood killed two people and displaced 6,755, of whom 965 were from resettlement sites. The flooding also damaged 1,017 hectares of crop land and killed numerous livestock.〔("Relief Bulletin: 9 May 2005" ), UN-OCHA-Ethiopia (accessed 26 February 2009)〕 In August of the next year flooding in Humbo displaced 6,000 inhabitants but without causing either loss of life or damage to the crops.〔("OCHA Situation Report No. 3 Floods – Ethiopia (Draft)" ), UN-OCHA (accessed 8 February 2009)〕 The World Bank approved funding November 2007 for a project sponsored by World Vision Ethiopia to restore forest to 3,000 to 4,000 hectares in Humbo and 1,000 to 2,000 hectares in Soddo Zuria using native species, a program which would be funded with funds from carbon offset purchases.〔("Ethiopia - Humbo and Soddo Community-Based Natural Regeneration Project" ), World Bank website (accessed 3 March 2009)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humbo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
