Ahafo Regional Coordinating Council

The Ahafo Regional Coordinating Council serves as the administrative headquarters of the Ahafo Region, Ghana's newest region created in December 2018 and inaugurated in February 2019. Located in Goaso, the capital town, it coordinates development planning, inter-governmental relations, and oversees the six Municipal and District Assemblies within the region. The council is led by a Regional Minister appointed by the President and supported by the Regional Coordinating Director and technical staff.

Ahafo Region was carved out of the former Brong-Ahafo Region following a referendum in December 2018, becoming Ghana's sixteenth region as part of the government's decentralization and administrative efficiency agenda. The region's creation fulfilled decades of agitation by the Ahafo people for their own administrative identity, distinct from the Brong area. Goaso was chosen as the regional capital due to its central location and existing administrative infrastructure.
