- Abstract
- This feature represents the 115 districts of the Republic of Zambia. District boundaries are mapped by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources (MLNR) through the Office of the Surveyor General.
Initially, Zambia had 74 districts. However, 41 new districts were created between 2011 and 2019. These districts were created by splitting already existing large districts into 2 or more. The main drivers to the splitting of these districts were to ease management and decentralization. Each new district has a municipal council and District Commissioner who are responsible for administration and management of district resources.
