Subdivisions of Rwanda

Main articles: Provinces of Rwanda and Districts of Rwanda

Rwanda is divided into five provinces ([intara] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) and subdivided into thirty districts ([akarere] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). The provinces are:

• Northern Province
• Eastern Province
• Southern Province
• Western Province
• Kigali Province

Prior to 1 January 2006, Rwanda was composed of twelve provinces (known as prefectures up to 2001), but these were abolished in full and redrawn as part of a program of decentralization and reorganization.
