Departments
Since 2002, Chad has been divided into 18 regions, which are subdivided into 52 departments and further divided into 348 sub-prefectures. Implementation of the new plan has been slow on the ground, however. The regions approximately correspond with 14 prefectures which existed up to 1999.
Each region is divided into between 2 and 4 departments, apart from the city of N'Djamena, which is divided into 10 arrondissements.
