Prior to the promulgation of a new constitution in 2015 after an earthquake, Nepal was divided into five development regions (Шаблон:Lang-ne), 14 administrative zones (Шаблон:Lang-ne) and 75 districts (Шаблон:Lang-ne). The 14 administrative zones were grouped into five development regions. Each district is headed by a Chief District Officer (CDO) responsible for maintaining law and order and coordinating the work of field agencies of the various government ministries.
The five development regions of Nepal were (from east to west):
