Districts of Uganda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uganda Districts (click map to enlarge)

Uganda is divided into 80 districts^[1] across four administrative regions. Most districts are named after their main commercial and administrative towns. Eleven new districts came into being on 1 July 2006.

Each district is further divided into sub-districts, counties, sub-counties, parishes and villages^[2]. The head elected official in a district is the Chairperson of the Local Council V.

Below are population figures from the 2002 Census. County data was used to determine figures for the districts created or altered since 1 July 2005.

• Budaka did not split from Pallisa along county lines, so population figures are only estimates. Their sum, however, is accurate.
