		      <description><![CDATA[OECD countries recognise the need for greater coherence in policies across sectors that affect developing countries.  Aid alone cannot address the needs of the developing world.  Policies in areas like agriculture, trade, investment, migration and others have a profound impact on developing countries, yet they often work at cross-purposes.  An OECD initiative on policy coherence for development explores ways to ensure that government policies are mutually supportive of the countries' development goals. (more)

							         <description><![CDATA[ Watch the webcast of the seminar here .
Stephen Lewis, Co-director of AIDS-free World, called upon the OECD to be tough and uncompromising when it comes to policy coherence for development. He asked that increased attention be paid to the implications on human health of climate change; the transfer of technology; and gender equality. Deputy Secretary-General Aart de Geus responded to this by stating that there was new and increasing attention paid to gender equality at the OECD, and that it was important in improving health conditions.
See the Summary of the meeting.
