Uvira Territory is a territory located in South Kivu Province in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Encompassing an area of roughly 3,146 kilometers and with a population estimate of 1,165,092 as of 2020, it is bordered by Walungu Territory to the north, Mwenga Territory to the west, and Fizi Territory to the south.[3][4] The territory's southeastern boundary is defined by the city of Uvira, which attained city status on 13 June 2019,[5][4] while the eastern perimeter adjoins the Republic of Burundi and Lake Tanganyika. Within the territory, Kiliba and Sange serve as significant towns.[4]
The territory is located 120 km from Bukavu, 88 km from Baraka, and 26.5 km from Bujumbura.[6] National Road 5 serves as its main transportation route, linking Bukavu in the north and Lubumbashi in the south.[6] The local economy relies heavily on agriculture, livestock farming, fishing, and commerce, including the sale of agricultural products and essential goods.[7]
