[[Uganda]] is divided intozinto four administrative regions, 111 [[district]]s and one city: the capital city of [[Kampala]].<ref name="district">{{cite web | url = http://molg.go.ug/2010/08/02/status-of-local-govts/ | title = Status of Local Governments | publisher = Ministry of Local Government | date = 2 August 2010 | archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20100918143645/http://molg.go.ug/2010/08/02/status-of-local-govts/ | archivedate = 18 September 2010}}</ref>. Most districts are named after their main commercial and administrative towns, known as 'chief towns'. Since 2005, the Ugandan government has been in the process of dividing districts into smaller units, with the most recent change in August 2010. This decentralization is intended to prevent resources from being distributed primarily to chief towns and leaving the remainder of each district neglected.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/26/449320 | title = Can Uganda’s economy support more districts? | work = [[New Vision]] | first = Denis | last = Ocwich | date = 7 August 2005}}</ref>
Each district is further divided into [[Counties of Uganda|counties and municipalities]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.statoids.com/uug.html | title = Uganda Districts | publisher = statoids.com}}</ref> and each county is further divided into [[Sub-counties of Uganda|sub-counties]]. The head elected official in a district is the chairperson of the [[Local Council]] five (usually written with a Roman numeral V).
