# Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services

The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (Portuguese: Ministério da Gestão e Inovação em Serviços Públicos) is a cabinet-level federal ministry in Brazil, established in 2023. It is responsible for reforms of the public administration and promotion of government efficiency, including government digitalization and debureaucratization.
The ministry was established from the old Ministry of Economy, created during president Jair Bolsonaro administration, receiving the new designation and current attributions with the return of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to the presidency in 2023.
During Lula's first and second terms, the scope of public service management was included in the Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management (MPOG). However, when dissolving the Ministry of Economy in 2022, the new administration decided to split the old MPOG in two ministries: the MGI and the Ministry of Planning and Budget (MPO). The ministry structure was established by Presidential Decree 11345.
The first ministry holder was economist Esther Dweck, former secretary of Federal Budget during president Dilma Rousseff administration.

## History

The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services remembers the old Ministry of Administration, dissolved in 1999.
The first agency responsible for federal administration and State reform with a cabinet-level status was the Secretariat of Federal Administration, established on 19 November 1992 during the presidency of Itamar Franco. On 27 May 1998, during the presidency of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, the Ministry of Administration and State Reform (MARE) was established, but dissolved six months later. On 1 January 1999, its attributions were merged into the Ministry of Budget and Management, replaced on 30 July 1999 by the Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management. This structure remained until 12 May 2016, when president Michel Temer renamed it to Ministry of Planning, Development and Management. On 1 January 2019, president Bolsonaro merged the ministry attribution into the Ministry of Economy.
On 1 January 2023, with the new Lula administration, the Ministry of Planning and Budget was reestablished and the management structure was transferred to the Ministry of Management.
