Amuria is the regional capital of Eastern Uganda, part of the Eastern Region, and is located in the interior of Uganda on the border with Kenya, with a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons. As the administrative and economic center of the region, Amuria has a population of about 200,000 (estimated in 2023), with a predominantly Iteso population. Agriculture is the mainstay of the industry, producing cotton, millet, cassava and groundnuts, and animal husbandry is relatively well-developed, with extensive cattle and goat farming. Although infrastructure is still being developed, Amuria is emerging as a core area for agricultural trade and services in Eastern Uganda by virtue of its position as a transportation hub connecting to the surrounding region, and the local culture, which retains its traditional tribal dances and handicrafts, attracts tourists interested in the rural culture of East Africa.
