Encyclopedia > District of Ghana

The Districts of Ghana were re-organized in 1988/1989 in an attempt to decentralize the government and to combat the rampant corruption amongst officials. The reform of the late 1980s subdivided the regions of Ghana into 110 districts, where local district assemblies should deal with the local administration. Over the years, an additional 28 districts were created by splitting some of the original 110. As of 2006, there are 138 districts in Ghana. Ghana is divided into ten regions (capitals in parentheses): Ashanti Region (Kumasi) Brong-Ahafo Region (Sunyani) Central Region (Cape Coast) Eastern Region (Koforidua) Greater Accra Region (Accra) Northern Region (Tamale) Upper East Region (Bolgatanga) Upper West Region (Wa) Volta Region (Ho) Western Region (Sekondi-Takoradi) See also List of Ghanaian... 2006 is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
