In a different fashion to municipalities, the Administrative Regions are administered by Regional Administrations, which are led by an administrator.[3] Each administration is responsible for providing services to their respective regions, such as power, water, sanitation, and road infrastructure. The current administrator for Guará is Artur Nogueira.[4]
