Brong-Ahafo Region

The Brong-Ahafo territory extended from the Black Volta river in the north to Lake Volta in the east, covering 39,558 square kilometers of land.

Established in 1959 from Western Ashanti, the region operated until 2019 when it split into three separate regions: Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo.

The Apoo festival in Techiman and Wenchi brings families together each November, while the Kwafie celebration occurs in Dormaa Ahenkro and Berekum.

Agricultural production dominates the regional economy with extensive cultivation of cocoa, cassava, yams, and maize across numerous farming districts.

The Tano River contains sacred fish according to local traditions, while the Monkey Sanctuary at Fiema protects black colobus and mona monkeys.
