The Integrated Framework Steering Committee (IFSC) oversees and governs the IF process. The IFSC, whose chair is currently vacant, is a tripartite arrangement with representation from Agencies, Donors and LDCs. All WTO members and observers can participate in the IFSC. All LDCs, irrespective of their link with WTO, can participate in the IFSC.

The day-to-day management of the IF is undertaken by the IF interim Board (which will become the EIF board upon launch of the EIF) since May 2007;  before, management of the IF was undertaken by the Integrated Framework Working Group (IFWG) since October 2002. The IF interim Board is chaired by the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Lesotho, Dr. M. A. Maruping, and consists of three representatives each from the LDCs and donor countries and one representative of each IF agency.

The WTO houses the Programme Implementation Unit for the IF, which services both the IFSC and IF interim Board meetings.

Finally, the UNDP, on behalf of the six agencies and donors, manages the IF Trust Fund, which was established in March 2001 by voluntary contributions from bilateral and multilateral Donors.
