In 2004 when Bia District was created, Legislative Instrument (LI) 1744 re-established the Juaboso District. Today the Juaboso District derives its legal mandate from Legislative Instrument (LI) 2020 following the creation of Bodi District in 2012. The district has a surface area of about 1,284 square kilometers and serves as entry/exit point between La Cote d’Ivoire and Republic of Ghana. It has a population of about 86,574. It is located in the Northern part of the Western Region of Ghana with Sefwi Juaboso as its capital. The District capital is located 360km to the north-west of Sekondi, the regional capital and a distance of 225km from Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital. The district shares borders with Bia West and Asunafo North districts in the North, Asunafo South and Bodi districts to the East, and Suaman District to the south and la Cote d’voire to the West. The Juaboso District is rural. However, almost half of the communities in the district have access to the basic social amenities. These include power supply, telecommunication, water, banking service, viable markets, perfectly networked feeder roads, healthcare, education, etc. The major economic activity of the district is farming. About 85% of the active citizens are engaged in the farming of cocoa, rice, cassava, plantain and livestock. Majority of the farmers are migrants. This accounts for the high capital flight in the area. This explains why the district is endowed with wealth but yet rural and poor. The district is rich in gold deposits, agriculture soil and commercial forest woods. There exist in the district very unique tourists sites. The people are welcoming and ready to develop. The mix of business opportunities is very favorable for investment. To harness the business opportunities in the district and attract investments, the District Budget Support Programme was approved for implementation in 2014. We are inviting interested business investors to visit the district and be informed of the business opportunities in the district and support packages available to investors.
