This council is an agency of the Executive Function, the most important agency in the System, that approves the National Development Plan, its updating and determining of the guidelines as well as the short, medium and long term policies; furthermore, it sets the standards of quality, quantity and effectiveness of the national public policies in the areas of development and territorial planning, annually validating the goals and results achieved by the National Development Plan, and establishes any corrections necessary in public policies to optimize the achievement of the national objectives.

All other development plans planned by the cantonal, provincial or other councils must be adjusted to fit this National Plan.
