Departments of Haiti

In the administrative divisions of Haiti, the department (French: départements, pronounced: [depaʁt(ə)mɑ̃]) is divided administratively into ten departments. The departments are further divided into 42 arrondissements, 145 communes and then into 571 communal sections. In 2014, there was a proposal by the Chamber of Deputies to increase the number of departments from 10 to 14 —perhaps as high as 16.
