Thank you very much for your interesting question about the number of women ministers in Africa and the Middle East. Please click on the following link http://iknowpolitics.org/en/node/3613 to see the list of women ministers by country. Each entry in the list includes the names of women ministers, links to official websites, and the date when information was posted on the respective websites. Please note that this list does not include names of women acting as Secretaries of States, Deputy Ministers, and Heads of Governments. However, the list includes the names of Secretaries of State in the countries where it is a ministerial position.

We hope this information will be helpful to you. We also would like to encourage all of our users to share with us any up-to-date information that they may have on this subject.
