Sefwi-Akontombra District is one of the nine districts in Western North Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Sefwi-Wiawso District in 1988, which was created from the former Sefwi-Bibiani District Council, until the southwest part of the district was split off to create Sefwi-Akontombra District on 29 February 2008; thus the remaining part was retained as Sefwi-Wiawso District (which it was later elevated to municipal district assembly status in March 2012 (effectively 28 June 2012) to become Sefwi-Wiawso Municipal District). The district assembly is located in the northeast part of Western North Region and has Akontombra as its capital town.
