The OECD Trento Centre for Local Development uses a holistic “from data to practice” approach to policies for sustainable development to offer local policy analysis, advice and capacity building activities for improved policy implementation. The analytical framework revolves around the implications of economic trends and policies for people, firms and places.
The Trento Centre was established by the OECD, the Italian Government and the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) in 2003 and it is an integral part of the OECD Centre for Entreprenuership, SMEs, Regions and Cities.
Today, OECD countries face two major productivity challenges, decreasing growth and increasing inequality. How can regional, rural and urban policy help find a more inclusive and dynamic system for economic growth?
Analysing the effects of public policies at subnational level is essential to inform place-based development agendas. How to reinforce the knowledge of local employment and economic development policies and practices?
Capacity building is creating, developing and strengthening the abilities of organisations, communities and individuals to confront challenges and achieve goals. How to work collectively across institutional lines and policy silos and develop synergies?
