Sefwi Wiawso Municipal Assembly

The Sefwi Wiawso Municipal Assembly is the local government authority responsible for administering the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality in the Western North Region of Ghana. Established with its administrative capital in Sefwi Wiawso town, the Assembly oversees development planning, revenue mobilization, and delivery of essential services to residents across the municipality. It operates under Ghana's decentralized local government system to promote grassroots participation in governance and accelerate socio-economic development.

Sefwi Wiawso has long served as a major administrative center in the cocoa-rich Sefwi traditional area, inhabited predominantly by the Sefwi people. The municipality was carved out as part of Ghana's administrative restructuring efforts to bring government services closer to the people. When the Western North Region was created in 2019 from the former Western Region, Sefwi Wiawso Municipality became one of its key administrative divisions, continuing its legacy as a vital hub for local governance and cocoa trade.
