A Federal Department is a specialized division within a national government responsible for specific areas of public policy, government function, or service delivery. Each department typically focuses on a particular sector, such as healthcare, education, or defense, and is headed by a minister or secretary who oversees its operations and initiatives. These departments implement laws, manage budgets, and provide services to citizens. They also work to coordinate with other levels of government and agencies to ensure effective governance. Examples of Federal Departments include the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security.
