Bafing Region, Administrative region in western Côte d'Ivoire
The Bafing Region spans across 8,660 square kilometers of land and contains three departments: Koro, Ouaninou, and Touba at 425 meters elevation.
The region emerged in 2000 when authorities separated the Touba Department from Worodougou Region, later becoming part of Woroba District in 2011.
Each department within the Bafing Region maintains local traditions through communities spread across cities like Bakandesso-Sogbéni, Booko, and Massala-Barala.
The regional capital of Touba serves as an administrative center, coordinating activities across the territory of 262,850 inhabitants according to 2021 data.
The population density of 30 people per square kilometer reflects the distribution of communities across this western territory of Côte d'Ivoire.
