The communal section (French: section communale, formerly section rurale[1]) is the smallest administrative division in Haiti. The 144 communes are further divided into 571 communal sections.[2][3][4]
It is headed by an executive body, the CASEC (Board of Communal Section) and a deliberative body, ASEC (Assembly of the Communal Section).
These two institutions are aided by CDSC (the Development Council of the Communal Section).
Within each, there are cities or neighborhoods, communities, habitations, and lakou with sometimes difficult to grasp distinctions.
