A self-administered area (Burmese: ကိုယ်ပိုင်အုပ်ချုပ်ခွင့်ဒေသ, romanized: kopaingokchoakkwingdetha) is an administrative subdivision in Myanmar (Burma). There are five self-administered zones and one self-administered division.
Description
[edit]The self-administered division (SAD) exists at an administrative level half-a-step below that of states, regions and the union territory, and the self-administrative zones (SAZ) exists at the district level.[1] Each self-administered area is administered by a "leading body" whose members are those members of their respective state and regional hluttlaw elected within the division and areas. The chief minister of a state or region formally appoints the chair upon selection by the leading body of the division or zones.[2] The self-administered areas are formed on territory under de facto control of the country's ethnic armed organisations.[3]
