The headquarters are in the town of Kilwa.

Moero Sector lies to the west of Lake Mweru.<ref name="RGC"/> The territory is agriculturally productive and the lake is rich in fish. There is no formal industry apart from the Dikulushi Mine near Kilwa, the capital city of Moero Sector, operated by Anvil Mining, an Australian company.<ref name=Spittaels2007/>

In October 2004 a small-scale uprising in Kilwa was brutally suppressed by FARDC soldiers of the 62nd Brigade. Anvil Mining Congo was accused of providing logistical support to the troops.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.minesandcommunities.org/article.php?a=4241 |title=Anvil Mining and the Kilwa Massacre, D.R.
