The resilience building project has been going on for five phases since 2010 and the last of which is only phased out on 30 April 2016. The next phase of the resilience building project which is financed by EU is going to commence soon for three and half years although the exact starting date is not yet decided. The Gasera sustainable development and women empowerment project is a new three year project started in January 2016 with funding from ELCA and CoS. Bale zone is located in the south eastern part of Ethiopia in the Oromia Region and Gasera woreda is one of the 19 woredas of Bale Zone which is located in the northwestern part of the zone.

The woreda has two types of rainfall regime; the first regime is characterized by long rainy season that extends from June to August. The second type of rainfall extends from March to April and reaches its maximum in spring and autumn. It is influenced by equatorial westerly and easterly winds that prevail over the area. The woreda is endowed with some big perennial rivers but not developed as such to benefit the largely agrarian population of the woreda. Rayitu and Dawe Kachen woredas are located in the southeastern part of Bale zone. Rayitu woreda has one-climatic zone namely, lowland, while Dawe Kachen woreda is classified into middle land and lowland. Both woredas have two types of rainfall regime; the first regime extends from April to May. The second type of rainfall extends from September to October. However, both woredas are known as disaster prone areas and they are currently classified as priority one hot spot woredas. The livelihood base of 80% of Dawe Kachen woreda population is pastoralism, where as 20% are categorized as agro- pastoral whereas the livelihood base for100% of the Rayitu Woreda population is pastoralism. Gasera, Rayitu and Dawe Kachen woredas are located at 90, 180 and 150 kilometers distance from the Bale Mountains National Park respectively that is home for some wild animals such as Nyala, Ibex and Red Fox which are only found in Ethiopia.
