Organising district and commune-level administrative units stands as a pivotal task for both the Ministry of Home Affairs and localities in 2024. As anticipated, between 2023 and 2025, the nation was projected to restructure a total of 33 district-level administrative units and 1,327 commune-level administrative units. It is estimated that following restructuring and mergers, the nation will see a reduction of 619 commune-level administrative units. These figures highlight a significant number of district and commune-level administrative units that localities have voluntarily proposed for rearrangement. Notably, 16 district-level administrative units and 109 commune-level administrative units, although not mandated for restructuring, have been suggested for rearrangement by the respective localities.
