A Transitional Darfur Regional Authority was established in April 2007 under the terms of the 2006 Darfur Peace Agreement signed in May 2006. 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. The current regional government was formed in August 2021.
