The Prime Minister of Aruba & Minister of General Affairs,
Integrity, Energy, Innovation, & Government Organization
Mrs. Evelyn Wever-Croes, LL.M. is the current Prime Minister and Minister of General Affairs, Integrity, Energy, Innovation, and Government Organization for the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. During the last general election, Mrs. Wever-Croes’ party MEP obtained nine seats. Subsequently, she formed a coalition with the POR and RED parties.
Aside from forming the first coalition government in over 20 years, she made history by being the first
female Prime Minister of Aruba. After assuming the role of Prime Minister of Aruba, the big innovation gap and its impact on the Aruban economy became apparent. Therefore, the vision of Aruba’s new Government is to achieve socio economic resilience by accelerating the innovation capacity of the island through a human-centered approach, putting the Aruba people at heart of all policies.
