Organization

The Provinces of Rwanda are subdivided into 30 districts (Rwanda: uturere, sing. akarere). Each district is in turn divided into sectors. There are 416 Sectors. [1]

History

This entire administrative structure is undergoing a process of decentralisation – devolving greater authority to local governments and municipalities – following an administrative reorganisation begun in 2002. [2]
