The main governing body of the National Platform is the reporting and electoral Conference of Platform members, which convenes once a year. Non-members of the Platform may also participate in the Conference, but without voting rights. During the Conference, reports of the Coordinating Committee, the National Facilitator and the Working Group Coordinators are presented. The Conference also discusses and adopts the goals, current objectives and priorities of the Platform for the new period.
The main documents adopted by the Conference are resolutions, positions and statements.
At the Conference, the Coordinating Committee, headed by the Chairperson, is elected for a two-year term. The National Facilitator of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum is also elected every two years and is responsible for representing the priorities and objectives of the Forum as a whole within the National Platform.
