It also plays a central role in administering the country's administrative capital of Naypyidaw, as the Constitution of Myanmar stipulates that the head of GAD is the secretary of the Naypyidaw Council and that the GAD offices are to be co-located with the Naypyidaw Council offices.[1]The directors of State and Region GAD offices are also the secretaries of State and Region governments. On 28 December 2018, it was reorganized and reinvoked under the Ministry of the Office of the Union Government after being detached from the Ministry of Home Affairs. On 5 May 2021, the SAC reorganized it under Ministry of Home Affairs.[2]
