Due to the long period it was a child agency in another department, the Ministry of Racial Equality is under a process of redeployment and should follow the organizational structure of the other Brazilian ministries that are composed by the following units and organs:
- Direct and immediate assistance organs: Minister Cabinet; Executive Secretariat; Special Advisory of Internal Control (AECI); Juridical Consultancy (CONJUR).
- Singular specific organs: thematic secretariats that are part of the second-tier of the federal government (these are subdivided in specialized department that form the third-tier).
