Governance Forum / National Agreement Forum
The ?Governance Forum? was a tripartite body composed of representatives of the National Executive, Political Parties with representation in the National Congress, and Civil Society Organizations with national representation. Their objectives focus on the definition of policies and issues of national relevance, and on the elaboration of follow-up mechanisms and the evaluation of the implementation of these policies, within the so-called "National Agreement" of 2002. They also regularly publish reports and participate in the elaboration of annual and medium-term and long-term Government Plans.
