EITI international management is a term to cover the activities carried out by the international organs of the EITI, such as the Global Conference, Members Meeting, Board, and international secretariat (as opposed to national EITI secretariats and their implementation activities). For example, the EITI international management budget covers activities of the Board and international secretariat including the Global Conference and Members Meeting.

The EITI International Secretariat works closely with countries implementing the EITI and international partners to manage the EITI on the global level. The EITI International Secretariat supports the EITI Board and is located in Oslo, Norway.

The main task of the Members’ Meeting is to appoint an EITI Board for the next term (two to three years). The Members’ Meeting is held during the EITI Conference.
