Understanding Chad's Regions
Chad is a large country in Central Africa. To help manage its different areas, the country is divided into 23 regions. Think of these regions like big states or provinces. Each region has its own capital city, which is the main city where the regional government is located. Tandjilé is one of these important regions.
How Tandjilé is Organized
The Tandjilé region is further divided into smaller parts. These smaller parts are called departments. Departments are like counties or smaller districts within a region. Tandjilé has two main departments:
| Department | Capital | Sub-prefectures |
|---|---|---|
| Tandjilé Est | Laï | Laï, Deressia, Dono Manga, Guidari, N'Dam |
| Tandjilé Ouest | Kélo | Kélo, Baktchoro, Béré, Bologo, Dafra, Delbian, Dogou, Kolon |
Each department also has its own capital city. Within these departments, there are even smaller areas called sub-prefectures. These sub-prefectures help manage local communities and services. For example, the Tandjilé Est department has Laï as its capital, and it includes several sub-prefectures like Deressia and Dono Manga.
