The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy (MCIP) is the main state authority in the system of central government of Ukraine responsible for ensuring the informational sovereignty of Ukraine, in particular regarding the dissemination of socially important information in Ukraine and beyond, as well as ensuring the functioning of state information resources and country's cultural development and history preservation. It is fully based on the former Ministry of Culture and Tourism (that was dissolved in 2010).

The Honcharuk Government (on 29 August 2019) merged the Ministry of Youth and Sports, established on February 28, 2013, and the Ministry of Culture (MinCult), established on December 9, 2010, into the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.[3]

But its succeeding Shmyhal Government undid this merger,[4] separating the Ministry of Youth and Sports into a separate body, and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports on 23 March, 2020 will be renamed the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy,[5] joining the Ministry of Information Policy, which operated from 2 December 2014[6][7] to 29 August 2019.[3]
