(The autonomous districts are containing departments, but have a specific status.) Each department is divided into two or more sub prefectures. Since 2020, there are 109 departments of Ivory Coast. Departments were first created in 1959. During their existence, they have been first , second , and third level administrative subdivisions.

Departments were established in 1961 and were the original first level administrative subdivision of independent Ivory Coast. Initially, there were just four departments: Centre, Nord, Sud Est, and Sud Ouest. In 1963, two more departments were created: Est was created by dividing Sud Est, and Centre Ouest) was created by dividing Sud Ouest. As a result of the divisions, Sud Est was renamed Sud and Sud Ouest was renamed Ouest.
