Divisions
The region is divided into four departments (départements): Nkam, with its capital at Yabassi. Moungo, with its capital at Nkongsamba. Sanaga-Maritime, with its capital at Édéa. Wouri, forming the area around the major city of Douala.
These are in turn broken down into subdivisions. Presidentially appointed senior divisional officers (préfets) and subdivisional officers (sous-préfets) govern each. Traditional leaders, usually referred to as chiefs in English, often preside over particular ethnic groups or villages; nevertheless, many of these wield very little power today.
