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.
