Greater Accra Region, Administrative region in southern Ghana
The Greater Accra Region spans 3,245 square kilometers along the Gulf of Guinea, housing government institutions and commercial centers of Ghana's capital city.
The area transformed from the Accra Capital District, part of the Eastern Region, into an independent administrative region on July 23, 1982.
The region's population of 5.4 million people includes the Ga people who hold the Homowo festival in August to commemorate a 16th-century famine.
The territory contains 29 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies, connected by four national highways and served by Kotoka International Airport.
Despite being the smallest of Ghana's 16 administrative regions at 1.4 percent of the country's total area, it contains 17.7 percent of the national population.
