Districts of Uganda
Uganda since July 2019 134 districts ( district ) and the city of Kampala organized, which - with the exception of, for example, Kabarole with the district capital of Fort Portal - are mostly named after its main town. These are divided into the four regions of the Eastern, Western, Northern and Central Districts, which are of no particular administrative importance.
Since the mid- 1990s , the top level of the administrative units, which consisted of ten provinces and was divided into just 38 districts, was replaced by an increasingly smaller division. The previous provinces were Nile, Northern, Karamoja, Western, Eastern, North Buganda, Busoga, Central, Southern, and South Buganda.
On July 1, 2000, the eight districts of Yumbe , Sironko , Pader , Wakiso , Kayunga , Mayuge , Kyenjojo and Kamwenge were newly formed. Kanungu , Kaberamaido and Nakapiripirit were created on July 1, 2001.
By 2002 the division process resulted in 56 districts. In 2005/2006 it was decided to create a further 24 districts, which were formed in two steps. On July 1, 2005, 13 new districts were formed, and on July 1, 2006 another eleven followed, so that at the end of 2006 Uganda consisted of 80 districts. As a result of further new districts, Uganda has consisted of 134 districts and Kampala, the capital, since July 2019.
The districts are divided into districts ( county ) and sub- districts ( sub-county ) or city districts ( town council ). The next level are the parishes ( parish ), which are ultimately divided into individual parishes ( local councils).
