Sud-Bandama, Administrative region in Ivory Coast.
Sud-Bandama is an administrative region in Ivory Coast shaped by river systems and farming land. Three departments - Divo, Guitry, and Lakota - form the core of this territory dedicated to agriculture and rural activity.
The region was formed in 1997 as an administrative division of Ivory Coast. A restructuring in 2011 reshaped the territorial organization of the area.
The Bandama River shapes daily life through fishing and farming practices that connect different communities across the land. Local people have built traditions around water use for both food production and exchange of goods.
The area is mainly rural with basic infrastructure and is best visited during the dry season when roads are most passable. Getting around relies on local transport options adapted to the terrain.
The Kossou Dam powers the region and supports large-scale farming through irrigation projects. This structure has also created fishing opportunities that shape local economic activity.
