**Garu-Tempane District**[1] is a former district that was located in [Upper East Region](/source/Upper_East_Region), [Ghana](/source/Ghana). Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger **[Bawku East District](/source/Bawku_East_District)** in August 2004. However, on 15 March 2018, it was split out into two new districts: **[Garu District](/source/Garu_District)** (capital: [Garu](/source/Garu%2C_Ghana)) and **[Tempane District](/source/Tempane_District)** (capital: [Tempane](/source/Tempane)). The district assembly was located in the eastern part of Upper East Region and had [Garu](/source/Garu%2C_Ghana) as its capital town. It borders [Burkina Faso](/source/Burkina_Faso) to the north.

Most residents are engaged in peasant farming and trading. Major crops include [millet](/source/Millet), [sorghum](/source/Sorghum), [maize](/source/Maize), rice, and [groundnuts](/source/Peanut).

Like many rural areas in Ghana, the district faces challenges in healthcare access and infrastructure. The road network in the community is bad.

The area is home to various ethnic groups, including the Bissa, Mossi, Kusasi, Yaana, Mamprusi and the Bimoba people.
