The four directorates of the General Secretariat

Legislating and overseeing, administering, informing and documenting, representing: four technical directorates carry the day-to-day activity of the National Transition Council.

Placed under the authority of the Secretary General, they work with the Bureau, the committees and the attached services so that every sitting, every text and every ceremony takes place in the best conditions.
