Administrative divisions of Cameroon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cameroon is divided into a number of administrative divisions. These are known by two terms, one English and one French. Both terms are considered official. The divisions are as follows:

• 10 provinces (provinces) under the authority of a governor (gouverneur);
• 58 divisions (départements) administered by a senior divisional officer (préfet);
• 269 sub-divisions (arrondissements) administered by a junior divisional officer (sous-préfet);
• 53 districts administered by a district head (chef de district).
