ISO 3166-2:UG#II-1

{{Short description|Entry for Uganda in ISO 3166-2}}

ISO 3166-2:UG is the entry for Uganda in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.

Currently for Uganda, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for four geographical regions, 134 districts and one city (the capital of the country, Kampala).

Each code consists of two parts separated by a hyphen. The first part is {{mono|UG}}, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Uganda. The second part is either of the following:

  • one letter: geographical regions
  • three digits: districts and city

For the districts, the first digit indicates the geographical region where the district is in:

  • 1: Central
  • 2: Eastern
  • 3: Northern
  • 4: Western

Current codes

Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).
