How Belgium works

Communities and regions

Belgium has three communities and three regions. Communities take care of what has to do with people, regions of what has to do with the territory.

Why

Who decides about your school, and who about the road you cycle on to get there? Is that the same level of government?

In Belgium, different levels of government decide on different things. That looks complicated, but there is a clear logic behind it.

Once you know that logic, you understand the news better and you know which level of government a question or a problem belongs to.
