Administrative divisions of Haiti

The administrative divisions of Haiti (Haitian Creole: divizyon administratif Ayiti) are concerned with the institutional and territorial organization of Haitian territory. There are many administrative divisions which may have political (local government), electoral (districts), or administrative (decentralized services of the state) objectives.

Administrative divisions[]

As of 22 July 2015, Haiti is divided into the following:^[1]^[2]

10 departments.
The departments are subdivided into 42 arrondissements.
The arrondissements are subdivided into 144 communes.
The communes are subdivided into 65 .^[3]
The quarters are subdivided into 571 communal sections.

Geographically, the departments are the largest territorial divisions, regrouping into arrondissements (districts) and communes (municipalities). The Arrondissement, encompasses a number of communes. While the Commune is composed of the city, neighborhoods and communal sections are basic territorial subdivisions. Quarters are neighborhoods whose status remain vague, and an ill-defined territory.^[4]
