📅 1 January 2023 📍 Brazil

Provisional Measure 1,154 reorganized Brazil’s ministries and included the Ministry of Racial Equality in the new federal structure. The ministry’s return represented a policy shift after years in which racial-equality institutions had been downgraded or reorganized. It created a central government platform for coordinating racial-justice policy, while its capacity depended on staffing, budget, inter-ministerial cooperation, and continued pressure from Black movements.
