The provincial flag, as seen during the 2016 inauguration of the President of Gabon, is white with the provincial coat-of-arms occupying 4/5 of the height in the centre.
According to Heraldry of
the World, the bees symbolise the Pays des Abeilles (Land of the
bees), an area by the river Ogooué. The silver lines stand for the confluence of
the Ogooué and Ivindo rivers.
