Ruhango is a town and sector located in the Southern Province of Rwanda. It serves as the capital of Ruhango District, making it the administrative centre for the surrounding area.
The town lies within Rwanda's Southern Province, one of the country's five provinces, a region that stretches south of the capital Kigali toward the border with Burundi. As a district capital, Ruhango functions as a local hub for government administration and services for the district's residents.
Ruhango is organised as both a town and a sector, the sector being a mid-level administrative unit used in Rwanda's local government structure. Beyond its role as a district seat, the town is one of several urban centres in the Southern Province, a predominantly rural region of the country.
