Sectors of Rwanda explained

Sectors (Kinyarwanda: Imirenge, sing. umurenge, French: Secteurs) are the third level administrative subdivision in Rwanda.

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]
