The Nandom District Assembly is one of the eleven [11] District Assemblies in the Upper West Region. It was established by a Legislative Instrument (L.I 2102) and was inaugurated in June 2012.

The vision of the District is to transform its geographical landscape into a well-planned, peaceful and prosperous district in Ghana’s decentralization system. This would be realized through strategically planning to achieve an overall balance and sustainable development in the district; investing in human and capital resources in sectors such as education, health, water and sanitation among others; promoting and supporting private sector development ; enhancing good governance and assisting to maintain peace and security in the district.

These functionalities can however be effective when the district has a well-defined geographical demarcations with its physical and baseline development indicators well established and periodically updated.

This Informative document therefore outlines the physical demarcation and features of the Nandom District, the demographic characteristics, economic and social infrastructures as well as key development gaps and issues for future development interventions.

It is our hope that this document will serve as an preliminary guide of our district to all stakeholders and development partners.
