The Ministry of the Presidency (Spanish: Ministerio de la Presidencia) is the department of the Government of Bolivia that provides support to the presidential administration by coordinating its political-administrative actions with the different ministries as well as the legislative, judicial, and electoral branches of government in addition to social sectors and cooperatives. Aside from these tasks, the ministry acts as the chief custodian of the government, filing all laws, decrees, and resolutions and publishing them in the Official Gazette of Bolivia.[1]

Established on 6 August 1989 by Presidential Decree N° 22292 issued by President Jaime Paz Zamora, the office was previously known as the General Secretariat of the Presidency.[2] The first official under the newly elevated ministry was Gustavo Fernández Saavedra, appointed on the same day.
