Local-level governments of Papua New Guinea

At the highest level, Papua New Guinea is divided into four regions, namely the Highlands, Islands, Momase, and Southern regions.

Below, Papua New Guinea has 22 province-level divisions: 20 integrated provinces, the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and the National Capital District.

Each province has one or more districts, and each district has one or more local-level government (LLG) areas. For census purposes, the LLG areas are subdivided into wards consisting of a few hundred to a few thousand individuals. Wards are further divided into census units (CU).^[2]
