Formerly known as East Moyo County, Adjumani District was part of Moyo District since 1962. In 1997 Adjumani was granted status of a District. The District is situated along river Nile. The district is bordered by Yumbe Arua and Moyo to the west, sudan to the north and Amuru District to the East Adjumani is separated from Amuru District by Zoka forest reserve to east and Moyo by the Nile to the west. The District acts as habitat for internally displaced persons (IDPs) numbering about 40000. The issue of IDPs in Adjumani District has been ignored by national and international debate as one of the problems which have been caused by the twenty years conflict in northern Uganda. The underlying reason is that the conflict was classified as an ethnic conflict between the Madi and Acholi from Gulu, Kitgum and Pader Districts as opposed to being part of the overall conflicts in Nothem Uganda.
