Merged ministries

On 5 June 2020, President Jeanine Áñez, through a message to the nation, announced the decision to reduce her Ministerial Cabinet from 20 to 17 State portfolios, with the aim of saving resources and investing them in strengthening the fight against the coronavirus pandemic .

Thus, the Ministry of Sports and Ministry of Cultures and Tourism were merged under the Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Communication was merged with the Ministry of the Presidency.[3]
