The city consists of three communes, which are further divided into six arrondissements. The arrondissements in turn consist of quartiers.
The third commune, located to the west, appears in a more recent (2013) publication under the name Balbala. Balbala was formerly a refugee camp.
The sixth arrondissement (Arrondissement du Plateau), which was created in 2003 and coincides with the commune of Ras-Dika, also includes the Îles Moucha.
