Uganda is divided into 135 districts, listed below. The districts are all named after their chief city. Other districts are just new additions having been created on dividing some districts.
Since 2005, the Ugandan government has been in the process of dividing districts into smaller units in order to prevent resources being distributed primarily to chief towns and leaving the remainder of each district neglected.
