Asutifi North District is one of the six districts in Ahafo Region, Ghana.[2] [3] [4] The District was formerly part of the then-larger Asutifi District since 1988, until the southern part of the district was split off to create Asutifi South District on 28 June 2012. The remaining northern part is Asutifi North District. The district assembly is located in the eastern part of Ahafo Region and has Kenyasi as its capital town.
Asutifi North District had a projected population of approximately 62,816 people (Ghana Statistical Service in 2014).[5] The district is predominately rural, as 68% of the total population reside in rural areas. A majority (68%) of the residents engage in agricultural activities, although the presence of large-scale mining activities has led to a growing service industry (as of 2014).
Close to 15% of the district population do not have access to basic water services. These households mostly use water from rivers, streams, unprotected wells and springs, dugouts, and tanker services.
With regard to sanitation, public toilet facilities are the most common, with almost half of the population relying on public facilities as their primary sanitation facility. Close to 5% of the population practice open defecation in fields and bushes.
