Districts serve as the second and lowest level of administrative division in Yemen's two-tier governance structure. The country is divided into 333 districts, which function as the primary units for local administration and public service delivery. These districts handle essential governmental functions including civil registration, local policing, basic education oversight, and primary healthcare services. District officials coordinate implementation of national policies at the local level while managing day-to-day administrative matters such as issuing documents, maintaining records, and addressing citizen needs. The district system provides the direct interface between Yemen's central government and local communities, making it fundamental to the country's administrative operations.
