The Volta Region is one of the ten administrative Regions in Ghana. The Region is unique in the sense that it is the longest of all Regions considering its North-to-South-extension.

It contains all types of landscapes and vegetation that can be found in other parts of Ghana such as coast, lagoons, southern savannah, northern savannah, mountains, waterfalls and a large part of the Volta Lake. Because of its natural and cultural diversity, the Region is also called Ghana’s Microcosm.

The Region spans all the vegetation zones of the country:

• Mangrove swamps and adjoining arid coastal plains in the south
• Semi-deciduous forest zone and savanna woodland in the centre
• The Northern Savanna or Guinea Savanna


TOPOGRAPHY

Middle and northern belts mainly mountainous, spotting Ghana’s highest peak Afadzato (885m). South is flat with marshy and sandy portions. Coastal areas have low-lying altitude from less than 15 meters above sea level.

Drainage

Volta Basin as the Region’s most important drainage system with 8.500 square km. The northern and middle belts have rivers Oti, Asukawkaw, Menuso, Dayi all flowing into the Volta Lake. The river Alabo and Tordzi are in the southern belt.

Soils

Major soils: savannah ochrosols, sandy coastal soils, tropical grey earth and regolistic groundwater laterites, topohydric and Luthochronic Earth. Soil type’s ranges: between heavy clay to sandy loams, heavy clay loams, sandy loams and alluvial soils

POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION/GOVERNANCE

The structure of the decentralized administrative system is made up of the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) and the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). The RCC comprises the Regional Minister who is the overall political head of the Region, his Deputy, representatives of the Regional House of Chiefs, District Chief Executives of the Region, the Presiding Members of the MMDAs and representatives of the various decentralized Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAS).

The RCC is headed by the Regional Coordinating Director who acts as the Secretary to the RCC and has the overall responsibility for the local government administration of the Region. The Region is divided into 25 Municipal and District Assemblies, each headed by the Municipal/ District Chief Executives.

Each Assembly has responsibility for the overall development of its area of jurisdiction. The Chief Executives are responsible to the President through the Regional Minister who is the head of the Region.

The Municipal/District Assemblies are composed of Zonal, Urban, Town and Area Councils. These District sub-structures are further divided into Unit Committees. The Region has a total no. of 3,252 communities. North Tongu has, with 513 communities, the highest number of communities and South Dayi with 38 the lowest.

The Regional House of Chiefs consists of 15 paramount chiefs (in charge of 15 Traditional Councils) and 17 rotating members (from 17 groupings) bringing the total membership to 32.

Main Economic Activities

• Agriculture
• Fishing
• Handicrafts
• Trade
• Tourism
• Other services


PHYSICAL AND NATURAL ENVIRONMENT TOPOGRAPHY

The Region is divided into three geographical belts. The middle and northern belts are mainly mountainous where the highest peak in the country; Mount Afadja (885m) is located. The southern belt is flat with marshy and sandy portions.

These coastal areas have low-lying altitude from less than 15 meters above sea level. The major kinds of land use in the Region are: • Forest reserves/water sheds 732.30 sq.km

• Volta Lake and water bodies 3360.00 sq.km
• Lagoon Areas 330.00 sq.km


DRAINAGE

The Region shares its western border with the Volta Lake. The Volta Basin is Ghana’s most important drainage system and is, with 8.500 square km, the world’s largest artificial body of water. The northern and middle belts have Rivers Oti, Asukawkaw, Menuso and Dayi all flowing into the Volta Lake. The Rivers Alabo and Tordzi are in the southern belt.

Onchocerciasis has been associated with some of these fast flowing rivers. Some parts of the Region are “hard to reach” areas, generally referred to as “overbanks”, which are settlements along the Volta Lake and lagoons in the southern parts of Ghana. The districts mostly affected are Krachi West, Krachi East, Kpando, North Tongu, Jasikan and Keta.

The coastal areas continue to be battered by tidal waves which usually displace several communities along the coast. This annual event could be attributed to sea level rise as a result of climate change. Vulnerable areas along the coast are depicted with red colour.

The most vulnerable areas include Keta and Anyanui. A sea defence wall has been constructed at Keta whilst another defence mechanism is under construction at Anyanui (as in June, 2012).

CLIMATE AND VEGETATION

The Region stretches from the shore of the Atlantic Ocean in the South to the Southern fringes of the semi-dry north in the North. As in all other parts of the country, the Region has a tropical climate, characterized by moderate temperature of 21-32° Celsius (70 – 90°F) for most of the year.

The average annual rainfall ranges between 1,168mm and 2,103mm. More than half of the land area of the Region falls within the Volta River Basin with the Volta Lake draining a substantial portion of the Region.

It has three marked climatic and vegetative zones: Mangrove swamps and adjoining arid coastal plains in the south:

This zone is characterized by dense mangrove swamps at the estuarine of the Volta River and the banks of the Songow, Avu and part of Keta lagoons. The main species are the white and the red mangroves. The coastal plains are marked by low savannah grassland which dries up completely during the dry seasons. Mango and coconut palm trees are planted in several areas.

The area has two rainfall maxima: the main rainy season, occurring between May and August and the minor rainy season between September and October. Between the rainy seasons is a prolonged dry season, culminating in the dry Harmattan between November and February. Daily temperatures are very high, averaging some 26 degrees with an average humidity of 60 %.

The open, moist, semi-deciduous forest zone and savanna woodland: This zone, occupying the central portion of the Region, is mostly of isolated forests and shrub-land. The main trees include the silk cotton tree, teak, obeche and wawa. Wild mangoes, oil palm and date palm grow in several areas. Most trees shed their leaves during the dry season.

The area experiences the same rainfall pattern as the southern zone. The marked difference, however, is the intensity of rains in the forest zone. Temperatures are a few degrees lower than in the South, especially in the mountainous areas while the humidity is slightly lower.

The Northern Savanna or Guinea Savanna: This zone consists of mostly expansive savannah grassland, dominated in parts by tall elephant grass. There are a number of wild trees such as acacia, baobab, neem and cola.

The area has one rainfall regime from May to August/ September. The temperatures are slightly higher than in the South. Humidity is, however, slightly lower.

Fascinating mountainous landscapes with overwhelming views over the Lake Volta, beautiful waterfalls, natural game reserves, lagoons and sandy beaches make the Region unique. The Voltaians are known for being welcoming and friendly to their visitors.

Only 2 hours away from Accra, the Region is especially interesting as a recreational destination for short and weekend trips as well as conference tourism. It is important to note that several tourists use the Aflao Border in the Ketu South District as a transit point.

Ho The Regional capital serves often as a starting point for tours to the attractions in the surrounding area. The town has good value hotels and gastronomy. The recently renovated Regional Museum gives a closer insight into the history of the Region.

The Kalakpa Resource Reserve and the Adaklu Mountain fascinate nature lovers.

Wli/Agumatsa Waterfalls

One of the most important tourist attractions of the Region are the Wli Waterfalls. These waterfalls are said to be the highest and most spectacular in West Africa.

The Wli Falls are located a twenty-minute drive away from Hohoe at the edge of the Agumatsa Wildlife Sanctuary. The water falls from a height of about 1,600 feet, into a plunge pool where swimming is permitted.

The Volta Lake Lake Volta and, to a lesser extent, the Volta River dominate the Region. It is an area of great scenic beauty, with river and ocean beaches and picnic spots shaded by palm trees.

Overwhelming views fascinate visitors. The attractive small town Kpando has the Region’s most important River port.

• Kente
• Beads
• Carvings
• Potters
