ISO 3166-2:CV

ISO 3166-2:CV is the entry for Cape Verde in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.

Currently for Cape Verde, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:

• 2 geographical regions (i.e., the Barlavento Islands and the Sotavento Islands)

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is CV, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Cape Verde. The second part is either of the following:

• one letter: geographical regions
