Sub-prefectures of Chad

Chad is divided since February 2008 in 22 regions.[44][45] The subdivision of Chad in regions came about in 2003 as part of the decentralisation process, when the government abolished the previous 14 prefectures. Each region is headed by a presidentially appointed governor. Prefects administer the 61 departments within the regions.[45] The departments are divided into 200 sub-prefectures, which are in turn composed of 446 cantons.[46][47]

The cantons are scheduled to be replaced by communautés rurales, but the legal and regulatory framework has not yet been completed.[48] The constitution provides for decentralised government to compel local populations to play an active role in their own development.[49] To this end, the constitution declares that each administrative subdivisions be governed by elected local assemblies,[50] but no local elections have taken place,[51] and communal elections scheduled for 2005 have been repeatedly postponed
