The Management Committee was responsible for matters of process. It implemented tasks of the Constitutional Committee, oversaw the Administration unit, and monitored the media and public participation. This series contains the Management Committees’ working documents, and audio recordings of their meetings.

Management Committee tasks included:

• preparing agendas for Constitutional Committee meeting
• preparing reports to be considered by the Constitutional Committee
• co-ordinating the activities of the theme committees
• co-ordinating the activities of all structures of Constitutional Assembly
• attending, between meetings of the Constitutional Committee, to the day-to-day management and overseeing of developments in the structures.

The Management Committee, previously the Steering Committee, was to implement the decisions of CODESA, create necessary sub-structures, and supervise the administration of CODESA and its working groups. During its first meeting, held on 13 January 1992, the Management Committee established the Daily Management Committee to which the Secretariat reported. The Secretariat continued to be responsible for CODESA's overall administration, under the direction of the Daily Management Committee. 

Based on reports from the Daily Management Committee, the Management Committee  created the sub-committees:  Zulu King and other Traditional Leaders, and the Gender Advisory Committee prior to CODESA 2.

The Management Committee was given the mandate to resolve outstanding matters and convene the next CODESA plenary to adopt agreements, however negotiations stalled and no further plenaries were called.
