Afdera is one of the 29 woredas in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. It is named after the saline Lake Afdera, located in the southern part of the Afar Depression.
Part of the Administrative Zone 2, Afdera is bordered on the southwest by the Administrative Zone 4, on the west by Erebti and Abala, on the north by Berahle, on the northeast by Eritrea, and on the southeast by Administrative Zone 1. Mountains in this woreda include Erta Ale and Borawli. Information is lacking on the towns of this woreda.
Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 19,381, of whom 8,742 were males and 10,639 were females. Information is not available for the area of Afdera, so its density cannot be calculated.[1]
