Buipe is a small town and the capital of Central Gonja District, in the Savannah Region of northern Ghana.[1]
Because of the proximity of limestone deposits, Buipe is the proposed location of cement works. The Black Volta, one of the most important rivers in the country passes through the town,[2] making Buipe one of the leading market centres in the northern part of Ghana.
