Mao-Komo is one of the 20
woredas in the
Benishangul-Gumuz Region of
Ethiopia. Because it is not part of any Zone in Benishangul-Gumuz, it is considered a Special woreda, an administrative subdivision which is similar to an
autonomous area. The southernmost woreda in the Region, Mao-Komo is bordered on the west by
Sudan and
South Sudan, on the north by the
Asosa Zone, and on the east and south by the
Oromia Region. Towns in this woreda include Tongo and it has a weekly market. Tongo refugee camp, housing 12,483 displaced people from Sudan and South Sudan, is also located in Mao-Komo.
