const kigaliDistricts = DISTRICTS_BY_PROVINCE["City of Kigali"];
// -> ["Gasabo", "Kicukiro", "Nyarugenge"]
const southernDistricts = DISTRICTS_BY_PROVINCE["Southern Province"];
// -> ["Gisagara", "Huye", "Kamonyi", "Muhanga", "Nyamagabe", "Nyanza", "Nyaruguru", "Ruhango"]
// 3. Get Sectors for a District
const gasaboSectors = SECTORS_BY …
