Location
The zone it's located in western Gambella Town is bordered by South Sudan, on the Northern Baro River, Western Pibor, and Southwestern Pibor River, on the east by Itang Special Woreda, on the South-East by Anuak Zone. The administration town called Nyinenyang, also have five administrator woreda Kuergeng Town, Kuach Thiäng Town, Nyinenyang Town, Matar Town and Tiergol Town.
Nuer Zone is within the Ethiopian lowlands and is flat at an elevation between 400–430 meters above sea level. The zone consists of grasslands, marshes and swamps with some forests. The economy is predominantly based on livestock. In 2006, there were no agricultural cooperatives, no documented roads, and little other
Reference infrastructure.[1] Both Jikawo and Akobo woredas are flooded during the rainy season, requiring the people to migrate to the highlands with their cattle until the waters recede; thus raising livestock is the primary source of income in this Zone.[2]
