ISO 3166-2:UG


ISO 3166-2:UG is the entry for Uganda in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization, which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for Uganda, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for four geographical regions, 134 districts and one city.
Each code consists of two parts separated by a hyphen. The first part is, the ISO [3166-1 alpha-2] code of Uganda. The second part is either of the following:
  • one letter: geographical regions
  • three digits: districts and city
For the districts, the first digit indicates the geographical region where the district is in:
  • 1: Central
  • 2: Eastern
  • 3: Northern
  • 4: Western

Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency.
