Regions Of Uganda

There were 56 districts in 2002, which expanded into 111 districts plus one city (Kampala) by 2010.

Under British rule before 1962, the regions were functional administrative units and were called provinces, headed by a Provincial Commissioner. The central region is the kingdom of Buganda, which then had a semi-autonomous government headed by the Kabaka (king).
