  • Teso Investment Profile 2016
    TESO INVESTMENT PROFILE 2016 THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA Teso Investment Profile 2016 PAGE - 1/30 - Soroti Flying School Page - 2/30 - Teso Investment Profile 2016 Background Information Teso is bordered in the north and east by the semi-arid region of Karamoja, to the west by Lango and to the south by Bukedi. According to the 2014 National Population and Housing Census, 1.8 million people are living in Teso, 80% of whom are the Iteso who speak Ateso. But there is also a different, smaller tribal group living alongside and intermarrying with the Iteso called the Kumam who speak Kumam, a language related to Luo. The countryside of Teso is an undulating plateau, with large outcrops of rock, divided by shallow lakes and swamps. The region has bimodal rainfall regime, supporting two cropping seasons. The first and major cropping season normally starts in March and runs until mid to late June/July when the dry season sets in. The second and minor rains are often received between August and early December when second season harvests begin. For most of the location, there is no distinct lean period; however, districts close to Karamoja Region (Amuria and Katakwi) tend to experience nearly similar seasonal trends as their neighbors on the Karamoja side and are most impacted by any inordinate actions of their Karimojong neighbors. The vegetation in the sub-region can best be described as grassland savannah. The soils are mainly sandy loam with a variation from sandy to loamy soils depending on the terrain. The area is endowed with lakes, rivers and vast wetlands.
