A payam is the second-lowest administrative division, below counties,[1] in South Sudan. Payams are required to have a minimum population of 25,000. They are further subdivided into a variable number of bomas.[2] As of 2017[update], South Sudan has 540 payams and 2500 bomas.[citation needed]
The unit of administration was introduced by the SPLM/A[2] and formalized at the National Convention of New Sudan.[3] The equivalent unit in neighboring Kenya and Uganda is sub-county.[4]
