The Government of Burundi consists of a 20-member Council of Ministers appointed by the President. The Council of Ministers, together with the President and Vice-Presidents, forms the executive branch of government in the country.
The constitution, which enshrines ethnically-based power-sharing, requires that 60% of ministers come from the ethnic Hutu majority while the remaining 40% come from the ethnic Tutsi minority. At least 30% of government ministers must be women.
Members of President Pierre Nkurunziza's government were announced on 30 August 2005. The government consists of 13 men (9 Hutus and 4 Tutsis) and 7 women (2 Hutus and 5 Tutsis). The ethnic composition is 11 Hutus and 9 Tutsis.
