The BSF is accountable to the BSF Steering Committee (SC). The SC is chaired by the Director of Foreign Aid Coordination from the Ministry of Finance. A representative of the Local Government Board acts as the Deputy Chair. Voting members include the GoSS sectoral Ministries of Health, Education, and Water, NGO (international and national) representatives, and DFID. The Joint Donor Office (JDO) (alongside USAID and the EC) also participate in the SC.

The SC has the responsibility for:
- Approving BSF operational procedures;
