As of 1 July 2020, [[Uganda]] is divided into 135 [[district]]s plus the capital city of [[Kampala]], which are grouped into four [[Regions of Uganda|geographic regions]].<ref name="district">{{cite web | url=https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:UG | title=UG – Uganda |work=[[ISO 3166]] | publisher=[[ISO]] | date=23 November 2017 |access-date=1 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://molg.go.ug/sites/default/files/MoLG%20-%20%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf | title=Ministry of Local Government Fact Sheet | publisher=[[Ministry of Local Government (Uganda)|MOLG]] | date=1 July 2017 |access-date=1 December 2017}}</ref>
Since 2005, the Ugandan government has been in the process of dividing districts into smaller units. 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/new_vision/news/1119670/uganda-eur-economy-support-districts | title=Can
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 (Uganda)|Local Council]] five (usually written with a Roman numeral V).
