OECD member countries believe that enhanced engagement (EE) should incorporate certain core elements that would be common with all partner countries. Partners would benefit from a fuller use of OECD working methods built around analysis, dialogue, peer review and advice based on internationally comparable data.

This report provides a select overview of concrete issues and modes of engagement, given for illustrative purposes only, as enhanced engagement should be developed incorporating areas of mutual interest and on a basis of further discussions with each country participating in it. In the current global context an enhanced form of dialogue would be most relevant on the global economic outlook, international investment issues, environment and climate change, as well as social aspects of globalisation and concerns about growing regional or income inequalities. OECD also welcomes enhanced engagement countries’ participation on horizontal projects where the Organisation is addressing multi-disciplinary issues and challenges. These include Health, Migration, Water, Innovation, as well as the Political Economy of Reform.
