Western North Region, Administrative region in western Ghana
The Western North Region encompasses nine districts with varied landscapes, from rolling hills to fertile valleys supporting agriculture and forest reserves.
The region emerged in 2019 following a referendum, separating from the former Western Region to improve access to government services for local communities.
The Sefwis, Brusas, and Anyins form the main ethnic groups in the region, each maintaining their languages alongside English as the official language.
The region experiences high annual rainfall between 1200mm and 1780mm, creating favorable conditions for growing cocoa, cassava, and other agricultural products.
Rivers Ankobra, Bia, and Tano flow through the region, while the terrain rises to 660 meters at Attanyamekrom near Sefwi Bekwai.
