ISO 3166-2:RW
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 3166-2:RW is the entry for Rwanda in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for Rwanda, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for one city and four provinces. The city Kigali is the capital of the country and has special status equal to the provinces.
Each code consists of two parts separated by a hyphen. The first part is RW, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Rwanda. The second part is two digits:
- 01: city
- 02–05: provinces
Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
