Agotime-Ziope District Assembly

The Agotime-Ziope District Assembly is the local government authority for the Agotime-Ziope District in Ghana's Volta Region. Its district office sits in Kpetoe, also written Agortime-Kpetoe, which serves as the district capital. For visitors, this is an administrative point of contact rather than an attraction: a place to make public enquiries about the district, not a staffed tourism desk.

The district was established by Legislative Instrument (LI 2080) of Parliament in 2012. Wikipedia records that the area was previously part of the larger Adaklu-Anyigbe District, created on 13 August 2004, until the western part was split off to form Adaklu District on 28 June 2012 and the remaining part was renamed Agotime-Ziope District. The assembly describes itself as one of the 260 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in Ghana and one of the 18 municipalities and districts in the Volta Region.

Its stated vision is a sustainable improvement in the living conditions of residents, and its mission is to build a solid foundation for development. The assembly handles local governance, development planning and service delivery, and is headed by a District Chief Executive with elected and appointed members. The district is described as a blend of traditional and modern architecture, with an economy based on agriculture and trade.

The published office address is Agotime-Ziope District Assembly, P.O. Box AP 47, Kpetoe, Volta Region. The official site lists the telephone number 0362196143 and the email address [email protected]. A Facebook page snippet shows a different box number, P.O. Box KE47 Agotime-Kpetoe, which is not verified on the official site; treat the postal box as disputed and confirm before sending mail.

The official Meet Us page states opening hours of Monday to Friday, 9.00 to 15.00. A third-party map listing suggested longer weekday hours, but that page could not be read and is not treated as verified; hours may also vary on public holidays. No verified coordinates for the office entrance were obtained — the available coordinates describe the district as a whole, not the building.

Kpetoe's main festival is reported as Agbamevor Za, a week-long September kente festival showcasing Agotime kente weaving and attracting tourists. The assembly office itself is not confirmed as a source of festival information.
