tructure and purpose

The TDRA is defined by the Darfur Peace Agreement as principal instrument for the implementation of that Agreement and as a means of enhancing coordination and cooperation among the three Darfur states; West Darfur, South Darfur, and North Darfur.

Primary responsibilities include facilitating the return of refugees and internally displaced persons, coordinating the restoration of security, and promoting peace and reconciliation.

The Darfur Peace Agreement stipulates that the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement shall be represented in the TDRA with at least 8 of 10 seats.

The Darfur Peace Agreement states that the TDRA shall consist of the following:

* Senior Assistant to the President and Chairperson of the Transitional Darfur Regional Authority.
* The Governors of the three Darfur states,
* Heads of the Darfur Rehabilitation and Resettlement Commission
* Darfur Reconstruction and Development Fund
* State Land Commission
* Darfur Security Arrangements Implementation Commission,

* Darfur Compensation Commission, and
* others that may be agreed by the Parties.

Future status

The TDRA is an interim authority. The permanent status of the Darfur region will be determined by a referendum to be held in July 2010 in which the people of Darfur will have the choice between either the amalgamation of the three current states of Darfur into a single autonomous Region of Darfur [ [http://www.sudantribune.com/spip.php?article15343 Sudan Tribune] ] (with a constitution and regional government) or the retention of the status quo. The TDRA will be dissolved in either case. [ [http://www.savedarfur.org/newsroom/policypapers/making_sirte_work/ ENOUGH: A Strategy for Success in Sirte |Save Darfur ] ]
