Districts of Rwanda

The Provinces of Rwanda are subdivided into 30 districts (Kinyarwanda: uturere, sing. akarere). Each district is in turn divided into sectors. Until 2001, the districts had been called communes.[1] In 2006, the number of districts was reduced from 106 to 30.[2]

The districts are listed below, by province.[3]
