Arua is a town and commercial centre within the Arua District in the Northern Region of Uganda.

Location

Arua is approximately {{convert|440|km|mi}}, by road, north-west of Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda,[3] and approximately {{convert|195|km|mi}}, by road, west of Gulu, the largest town in the Northern Region.[4]

Overview

Arua is an important base for non-governmental organizations working in the West Nile sub-region or serving Western Equatoria in South Sudan and the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It became an important commercial supply centre and transport route[5] when the Yei–Juba road opened, enabling supplies to come into Juba from the south on the Kaya Highway instead of through Khartoum from the north.

Transport

A branch of the Uganda Railways was extended to Arua sometime after 1964,[6] but there has been no passenger rail service in Uganda for many years.[7]

The Vurra–Arua–Koboko–Oraba Road passes through town, in a south/north direction.[8]

The city is served by Arua Airport, which has scheduled air service.[9]

Population

The 2002 national census estimated the population of Arua Town at 43,930. In 2010, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) estimated the population to be 57,500. In 2011, UBOS estimated the population at 59,400.[10] In August 2014, the national population census put the population at 62,657.[11]

Climate

Arua has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw).
