Map of provinces, 2006

Template:Sidebar with collapsible lists The provinces of Rwanda (Kinyarwanda: intara) are divided into districts (akarere) and municipalities (umujyi). Prior to January 1, 2006, Rwanda was composed of 12 provinces. The Rwandan government decided to establish new provinces in an attempt to address issues that arose from the genocide against the Tutsis. The new provinces were to be "ethnically-diverse administrative areas".[1]

Until 2002, the provinces were called prefectures (perefegitura).[2]

Administrative divisions

Since January 1, 2006, the administrative divisions of Rwanda comprise four provinces and the City of Kigali:[3]
