Naeder Adet is one of the 36 woredas in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. 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.[1]

Part of the Mehakelegnaw Zone, Naeder Adet is bordered on the south by Kola Tembien, on the west by Mi'irabawi (Western) Zone, on the northwest by Tahtay Maychew, on the northeast by La'ilay Maychew, and on the east by Werie Lehe. Towns in Naeder Adet include Edaga Selus.

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.[2]

Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 112,523, of whom 57,380 were males and 55,143 were females; 1,957 or 1.74% of its population are urban dwellers, which is less than the Zone average of 23.9%. With an estimated area of 959.1 square kilometers, Naeder Adet has an estimated population density of 117.3 people per square kilometer, which is less the Zone average of 123.96.[3]
