The Cabinet of Rwanda consists of the Prime Minister, Ministers, Ministers of State and other members nominated by the President. Members of Cabinet are selected from political organisations based on the number of seats they hold in the Chamber of Deputies, but members of Cabinet cannot themselves belong to the Chamber.
Gender balance The cabinet in 2018 was 50% women making Rwanda, along with Ethiopia at the time, the only two African countries with gender equality in their cabinets. President Paul Kagame reduced the number of cabinet members from 31 to 26 in October 2018.
