Haut-Sassandra, Administrative region in central Côte d'Ivoire.
Haut-Sassandra covers 15,190 square kilometers of territory and contains four departments: Daloa, Issia, Vavoua, and Zoukougbeu, with Daloa serving as the capital.
The region underwent administrative changes in 2000 when Gagnoa Department separated to form Fromager Region, and in 2011 became part of Sassandra-Marahoué District.
The region encompasses communities of Bété, Gnamboua, Gouro, Baoulé, and Malinké people, who maintain traditional practices and craft centers throughout the territory.
With a population of 1,739,697 recorded in 2021, Haut-Sassandra stands as the most populous region in Côte d'Ivoire, operating under UTC+0 time zone.
The handicraft center in Daloa produces distinctive metal swords, while the sacred monkeys of Gbetitapéa freely roam the streets under local protection.
