The 'Districts of Ghana' were re-organized in 1988/1989 in an attempt to decentralize the government and to combat the rampant corruption amongst officials. The reform of the late 1980s subdivided the regions of Ghana into 110 districts, where local district assemblies should deal with the local administration. Over the years, an additional 28 districts were created by splitting some of the original 110. As of 2006, there are 138 districts in Ghana.
