The Darfur Regional Government is an administrative body for the Darfur region of the Republic of Sudan.[3]
A Transitional Darfur Regional Authority was established in April 2007 under the terms of the 2006 Darfur Peace Agreement[4] signed in May 2006.[5] The transitional authority was reconstituted as the Darfur Regional Authority on 14 July 2011, following the signing of a new Darfur Peace Agreement, which included provisions for a regional authority with both executive and legislative functions.[6][7][8] The current regional government was formed in August 2021.[2]
