The city is located about 150 kilometers southeast of the capital city of Ouagadougou, and is situated in the Sudano-Sahelian climatic zone, with a predominantly savannah landscape and distinct dry and rainy seasons.

Manga has a population of about 40,000 (2020 estimate), mainly Mosi and Fulani inhabitants. The economy is based on agriculture, mainly growing crops such as sorghum, millet and maize, with active livestock (cattle and sheep) farming around the area. In recent years small handicrafts and market trade have gradually developed, becoming a regional distribution center for agricultural products.
