Add article description

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, chiefdoms (fr. chefferies) and sectors (fr. secteurs) are rural administrative divisions of territories (fr. territoires). They are further subdivided into groupings (fr. groupements) which themselves are divided into villages. Chiefdoms and groupings are led by traditional leaders officially recognized by the government, whereas sector chiefs are appointed directly by the government.

List of chiefdoms and sectors

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), as of 2018 there are a total of 734 chiefdoms and sectors.[1]. Other sources give 735 in 2017 and 737 for 2020.[2]
