Districts of Rwanda
 |
|---|
The five provinces of Rwanda are divided into 30 districts (Kinyarwanda: uturere, sing. akarere). Each district is in turn divided into sectors (Kinyarwanda: imirenge, sing. umurenge), which are in turn divided into cells (Kinyarwanda: utugali, sing. akagali), which are in turn divided into villages (Kinyarwanda: imidugudu, sing. umudugudu).
Prior to 2002, Rwanda was composed of prefectures, subprefectures (which were sometimes called "districts")[1] and 154 communes (Kinyarwanda: imijyi, sing. umujyi).[2][3] In 2002, communes were replaced by two kinds of divisions called districts and municipalities (Kinyarwanda: akarere and umujyi).[2] In 2006, the number of districts was reduced from 106 to 30.[2]
The districts are listed below, by province.[4]
