The ministries of Disparu are under the Executive Branch, and are responsible for the day-to-day activities of the Government of Disparu. There are currently thirteen ministries on the federal level, while the number of ministries on the provincial level varies by province. Federal-level ministries are usually responsible for nationwide issues and events, while the provincial level ministries are only responsible for provincial issues.

According to the Constitution of Disparu, all ministries on the federal level, with the exception of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Science and Technology, must also exist on the provincial level. These provincial-level ministries may not be removed by the Provincial Government, and are generally responsible for most affairs. Provincial Governments may create and destroy additional ministries that only exist on a provincial level. Provincial ministries that have a federal counterpart may make their own decisions, but their decisions may be overridden by the federal ministries.

Ministers are appointed by the Chancellor shortly after general elections, and are allocated depending on the Commons' seat distribution. All ministers are members of the Executive Council. When appointing ministers, it is recommended that they are not Members of Parliament or Senators.

Federal ministries may be merged or removed with the consent of the Executive Triumvir. If the ministry is removed, its existing responsibilities must be transferred to another ministry. This does not apply if the ministry did not have any responsibilities upon its removal. Ministries may create or destroy departments within it with the permission of the Minister and as long as the change does not severely affect Disparu in a negative way, or if the department in question is not protected by any laws.
