'Arua', pop. 29,828, is a town in Arua District in north western Uganda. An important local commercial centre, it is a base for a large refugee population from Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo and is an aid distribution centre for those nations.
Arua is an important base for NGOs working in the West Nile region or serving Western Equatoria in Sudan or northeastern Congo DRC. It has become increasingly important as a commercial supply centre and transport route^[1] as the Yei–Juba road has opened up and supplies come into Juba from the south rather than through Khartoum.
