Upper West
The Upper West Region of Ghana is located in the northwestern corner of the country and is bordered by Burkina Faso to the north. The capital and largest city is Wa. The major ethnic groups are the Dagaba, Sisaala and Wala.
The major economic activity of the region is agriculture. Crops grown include corn, millet, groundnuts, okro, shea butter, and rice. Sheep, goats, chickens, pigs and guinea fowl are raised for meat and eggs. Because of the region's long dry season extends roughly from October to May, many people leave the area to work in the southern part of Ghana for at least part of the year.
