For other uses, see Commune (disambiguation).
The provinces of Burundi are subdivided into 119 communes.[1] The communes are further subdivided into collines.
Burundi’s provinces and communes were created on Christmas Day in 1959 by a Belgian colonial decree. They replaced the pre-existing system of chieftains.[2]
In July 2022, the government of Burundi announced a complete overhaul of the country’s territorial subdivisions. The proposed change would reduce the amounts of provinces from 18 to 5, and reduce the amount of communes from 119 to 42. The change needs the approval of the National Assembly and the Senate to take effect.[2]
The communes are listed below, by province:
