Logone Occidental Region, Administrative region in southwestern Chad

Logone Occidental spans 8,915 square kilometers across diverse landscapes, containing four departments and numerous settlements with Moundou as its capital city.

The region transformed from a prefecture to its current administrative status during Chad's 2003 decentralization process, marking a shift in local governance.

The Sara ethnic groups, particularly the Laka and Ngambay communities, represent over ninety percent of the regional population and maintain distinct languages.

The territory contains 132,349 households distributed between urban and rural areas, with an average household size of 5.2 individuals according to census data.

Located at the intersection of three other Chad regions, Logone Occidental functions as a central hub connecting Tandjilé, Logone Oriental, and Mayo-Kebbi Ouest.
