Information about the Bolivian Flag: Colors and Meaning of the Flag of Bolivia
In this Country Profile
The national flag of Bolivia contains three equal horizontal bands of red (top), yellow, and green with the coat of arms centered on the yellow band. The Bolivian flag is similar to the flag of Ghana, which has a large black five-pointed star centered in the yellow band; in 2009, a presidential decree made it mandatory for a so-called wiphala – a square, multicolored flag representing the country’s indigenous peoples – to be used alongside the traditional flag.
Color red stands for bravery and the blood of national heroes, yellow for the nation’s mineral resources, and green for the fertility of the land.
