| An Overview of Kenya |
|
Kenya is divided into eight provinces (Swahili - mkoa).
Click on any to view regional information.
1. Central Province
2. Coast
3. Eastern
4. Nairobi
5. North Eastern
6. Nyanza
7. Rift Valley
8. Western
The provinces are subdivided into seventy-one districts
( wilaya ) which are then subdivided into 262
divisions ( tarafa ). The divisions
are subdivided into approximately 1,088 locations ( mtaa )
and then sublocations ( kijiji ). A province is administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).
Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified
as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.
A third discrete type of classification are constituencies. They are further subdivided into wards.
