The Head of a district development committee is elected by the district assembly. The government also appoints a Local Development Officer in each district development committee who heads the DCC in absence of an elected head or deputy head.[4]

Formation

The district coordination committee is elected by the District Assembly, which consists of the Heads and Deputy Heads of all the rural municipalities and Mayors and Deputy Mayors of all the municipalities in the district. Nine members are elected for a term of five years by the District Assembly including, one Head, one Deputy Head, at least three women and at least one person from the Dalit or minority community. Only members of the village assembly or municipal assembly in the district are eligible to candidates.[5]
