Departments of Burkina Faso

Updates:

The provinces are subdivided into 351 départements (departments). The departments are classified as either rural communes or urban communes; there were 49 urban communes in 2007. I found several sources for the list, with some disagreement among them. This list, and the populations for 2006, come from the 2006 Census  (preliminary results). I have changed some spellings to more common variants.
