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: utugali, sing. akagali), which are in turn divided into villages ( Kinyarwanda: imidugudu, sing. umudugudu).
Prior to 2002, Rwanda was composed of prefectures, subprefectures (which were sometimes called "districts") [1] and 154 communes ( Kinyarwanda: imijyi, sing. umujyi).
