Kumasi is one of West Africa’s most dynamic cities — a place of deep cultural heritage, rapid economic growth, and genuine community pride. For generations it has been the commercial and cultural capital of the Ashanti region, and today it stands as one of Ghana’s most important urban centres.
Yet for too long, Kumasi’s digital presence has lagged far behind its ambition. National media covers the city sporadically. Business directories are outdated or incomplete. Events go unannounced. Infrastructure projects happen invisibly, with no accountability or community visibility.
Why We Built This
This Is Kumasi was built to change that. We believe the Garden City deserves a world-class digital platform that reflects who Kumasi is today and where it’s going tomorrow.
We publish original, first-party journalism about Kumasi — not syndicated feeds or recycled national content. Our reporters cover local government, infrastructure, business, culture, and community in a way that no national outlet can match.
Our business directory helps residents discover and connect with verified local businesses — from restaurants and hotels to professional services and healthcare. Every listing is reviewed by our team before it appears on the platform.
Our projects tracker gives Kumasi residents unprecedented visibility into the infrastructure developments shaping their city — roads, drainage, public buildings, and utilities — with live progress updates, map pins, and budget transparency that holds institutions accountable.
Our Commitment
We are a Kumasi-first platform. Every editorial decision, every product feature, every business partnership is evaluated through a single lens: does this serve the people of Kumasi? That commitment is not a slogan — it is the reason we exist.
