The Atebubu-Amantin Municipal is one of the 22 districts in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana; the district was known as the Atebubu District until the year 2004 when the Pru Municipal was carved out of it. The following represent key geo-physical features of the  Municipal: The Municipal covers a land area of 1996km2 with an estimated population of 65,253 as at the year 2000. This has been projected to be 82,109 in 2009. The Municipal’s population is currently growing at 3% which is higher than the national rate of 2.6%. The population is dominated by males (51.7%). This could be partly attributed to the continuous influx of mostly maize settler farmers from Northern Ghana into the Municipality. They constitute about 55% of the district’s population.

The Municipality has a large labour force constituting 55.8% of the population. Though the dependent population is quite high (44.2%), their effect on the active population could be lower since most of those in the senile age group could still be engaged in one or other form of the agricultural production. There are two Traditional Paramount Chiefs in the Municipality ruling from Atebubu and Amantin. These Paramount Chiefs however collaborate in the implementation of most development projects.
