Read full description

The Gadaa system is an extensive and complex system consisting of numerous institutions and structures, inextricably linked with the existence and growth of the Oromo people holistically. When compared with other systems among other Cushitic peoples, it is a traditional system of governance which has grown gradually from ingenuousness to complexity and all-roundedness.  In short, the Gadaa system is a system which includes many institutions and which incorporates the social, political, economic and religious systems of the Oromo people. This broadness and complexity of the Gadaa system makes the task of encompassing it within an iOS App a monumental endeavor.   However, we have taken our best shot at it and hope to make it better educational resouce in the long run. Enjoy it and let us know how we are doing.
