context_page_description: The Regions of Cameroon are divided into 58 divisions or departments. The divisions are further sub-divided into sub-divisions and districts. The divisions are listed below, by province.
  The constitution divides Cameroon into 10 semi-autonomous regions, each under the administration of an elected Regional Council. A presidential decree of 12 November 2008 officially instigated the change from provinces to regions. Each region is headed by a presidentially appointed governor. These leaders are charged with implementing the will of the president, reporting on the general mood and conditions of the regions, administering the civil service, keeping the peace, and overseeing the heads of the smaller administrative units. Governors have broad powers: they may order propaganda in their area and call in the army, gendarmes, and police. All local government officials are employees of the central government’s Ministry of Territorial Administration, from which local governments also get most of their budgets.
  The regions are subdivided into 58 divisions. These are headed by presidentially appointed divisional officers, who perform the governors' duties on a smaller scale.
