Administration
Administratively, the country comprises 20 provinces and three municipalities
(Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville and Kep).
The provincial administration is headed by a governor, assisted
by two or three deputy governors, one of whom is in charge of agriculture.
Provinces and municipalities are divided into districts (172), which
have their own administrative staff and district level ministry
staff.
The average population per district is about 50,000 people. Districts
are further subdivided into 1,400 communes, with a total of about
11,700 villages.
