Fourth-level administrative subdivisions of the country
Sub-prefectures of Ivory Coast. The sub-prefecture boundaries are dotted lines. The green dots indicate the location of the settlement that is the seat of each sub-prefecture. The grey zones are areas of the country not governed by sub-prefectures. Sub-prefectures of Ivory Coast (French : sous-préfectures de Côte d'Ivoire ) are the fourth-level administrative subdivisions of the country. There are currently 510 sub-prefectures. They were created in 2011, when the administrative subdivisions of Ivory Coast were reorganised.
In Ivory Coast, there are 14 first-level districts (including two autonomous districts) sub-divided into 31 regions , which are sub-divided into 108 departments (French : départements ), which are further sub-divided into 510 sub-prefectures. The sub-prefectures contain more than 8000 villages nationwide. Where needed, multiple villages have been combined into 197 communes . The two autonomous districts are not divided into regions, but they do contain one or more departments as well as sub-prefectures and communes.
Two areas of the country are not subdivided into sub-prefectures. First, the urban portion the Autonomous District of Abidjan—constituting Abidjan City proper—contains no sub-prefectures, only communes, although the more rural areas of the Autonomous District of Abidjan are divided into sub-prefectures. Second, the portion of the Comoé National Park that is located in Zanzan District is not divided into sub-prefectures.
Organisation Each sub-prefecture is headed by a sub-prefect, who is appointed by the council of ministers (cabinet) of the national government.[1] The sub-prefecture implements the programmes passed down by the department and works directly with the mayors and heads of villages to ensure cooperation and standardisation throughout the sub-prefecture.[1]
