About

The OECD Global Forum on Development was launched in 2006 to promote dialogue between the OECD and non-member governments, as well as private sector and civil society actors. During its first cycle of events (2006-08), participants identified ways to render the international development finance system more effective. During its second cycle (2009-10), discussions focused on domestic resource mobilisation and led to the creation of a new Informal Task Force on Tax and Development.
The forum’s discussions are supported by the Development Finance Network (DeFiNe), a group of almost 40 think tanks from around the world. Events are co-ordinated by the OECD Development Centre and Development Co-operation Directorate, and are often hosted jointly with partners, both within and outside the OECD.

 

The OECD Global Forum on Development brings together high-level experts from a wide range of stakeholder groups, including OECD and non-member governments, think tanks, civil society organizations and the private sector.
