ISO 3166-2:GW is the entry 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 of Guinea-Bissau (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is GW).
Currently two levels of subdivisions are assigned codes:
- 3 provinces — Each code is a letter.
- 1 autonomous sector and 8 regions — Each code starts with GW-, followed by two letters.

Current codes
Codes and subdivision names are listed as in the official standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA). Click on the button in the header to sort each column.
Provinces
These codes are defined in the official standard without the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country as prefix, and thus do not guarantee uniqueness in a global context by themselves. They can be completed by adding GW-.
