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: utuguari, sing. akagari), which are in turn divided into villages (Kinyarwanda: imidugudu, sing. umudugudu).
