The Ministry of the Presidency is a ministry of the

branches of government, civil society
and the various ministries.

Being one of the most political ministries, since it has to coordinate with the social and political organizations, with the Legislative Assembly and with the opposition groups, it is usually put in charge of one of the closest collaborators of the President. The Costa Rican intelligence agency, the Directorate of Intelligence and Security, reports to the Ministry of the Presidency,[2] which has generated controversy.[3][4]

Said

Prime Minister, so usually a person of extreme confidence of the President is appointed. It is not unusual, too, that a few former presidential ministers have been later elected presidents of the Republic. The Minister of the Presidency, however, is not head of government, as Costa Rica's Constitution establishes that the President is both head of state and head of government.[5]

The headquarters of the Ministry of the Presidency are located in Casa Presidencial in

Zapote District, San José
.
