Anarrondissement (pronounced[aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃];Haitian Creole:awondisman) is a level ofadministrative division in Haiti.
As of 2015[update], the 10departments of Haiti were divided into 42 arrondissements.[1]
Arrondissements are further divided intocommunes andcommunal sections.
The termarrondissement can be roughly translated into English asdistrict.[2] A more etymologically precise, but less allegorical, definition would beencirclements, from the Frencharrondir, to encircle.[3] Because no single translation adequately conveys the layered sense of the word, the French term is usually used in English writing.
The Arrondissements are listed below, by department:
