Rwanda is divided into five provinces (intara) and subdivided into thirty districts (akarere).

Provinces

Rwanda's 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.
