Ondame is located in the eastern region of the West African country of Guinea-Bissau and is one of the country's major towns. It is located in the savannah climate zone, with an average annual temperature of about 26°C. The rainy season (June to October) is characterized by abundant rainfall, which makes it suitable for agricultural cultivation. The town is surrounded by plains and low hills, and a tributary of the Corubal River flows through it, providing water for agriculture and the population.
The economy of Ondame is dominated by agriculture, with cashew nuts, rice and cassava being the main crops, of which the export of cashew nuts is an important source of income for the local population. The town has a population of about 15,000, with a predominantly Balanta and Fulani ethnic group, which retains its traditional tribal culture and festivals. Infrastructure is relatively simple, dominated by small bazaars, artisanal workshops and basic public services.
Ondame is connected to Guinea-Bissau's capital, Bissau, and other eastern towns by dirt roads, and serves as a regional distribution center for agricultural products. Despite its limited level of development, its geographic proximity to the Guinean border makes it a potential hub for cross-border trade. In recent years, the Government has progressively promoted a road improvement program to boost the local economy.
