Ghana Districts: A repository of all Local Assemblies in Ghana

The Savannah Region is one of the newest administrative regions in Ghana, created in 2019 after being carved out of the former Northern Region to promote effective governance and development. It is the largest region in the country by land area, with Damongo serving as its capital.

Located in the northern part of Ghana, the Savannah Region shares boundaries with several regions including the Upper West, Northern, North East, Bono and Bono East Regions as well as international borders with Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso.

It is characterized by vast savanna grasslands, dispersed rural settlements, and a culturally diverse population with multiple ethnic groups living peacefully together.

The Savannah Region plays an important role in Ghana’s agricultural sector and natural resource development, with growing attention on improving infrastructure, governance, and socio-economic opportunities across its districts.
