Tamale is the city where the member organisations are located. From this provincial capital they focus on the development of northern Ghana.This predominantly Muslim city is the largest  and fastest growing city in Northern Ghana. Tamale has a estimated population of 350,000. It is located in the northern part of the country, where the land is savanna, consisting of grasslands with drought-resistant trees. Tamale is one of the most friendly and most rapidly changing city’s of Ghana.

 It now serves as a gateway to the Sahel considering its strategic positions as the centre between Ghana and her neighbors such as Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, Benin, Cote D'voire and Togo. Tamale has an International Airport which could make Tamale the aviation hub of the sub-region. But it is also a hub for tourists traveling throughout the northern reaches of Ghana, and to popular tourist sites such as Mole National Park. And unique in Africa, the construction of bicycle lanes parallel to the main thoroughfares.
