You are invited to take part in a public consultation on the forthcoming OECD Strategy on Development.

 

The Strategy will build on OECD’s multidisciplinary expertise, as well as on its longstanding experience on development work, in order to ensure a more comprehensive approach to development that goes beyond aid. This will entail fine-tuning OECD policy advice in a way that recognises the institutional conditions in developing countries. It also aims to widen partnerships with developing countries, opening up opportunities for mutual learning, greater sharing of policy successes and failures and collective standard setting. In doing so, the OECD will ensure that the broader policies pursued by its members are coherent with the goal to promote worldwide development.

 

The purpose of this consultation is to seek views from as many stakeholders as possible in a transparent and inclusive manner. By participating, you have an opportunity to provide views on various key elements of the Strategy as it is being developed. The consultation will be conducted in three phases, both online and through a series of face-to-face meetings with civil society and non-governmental organisations. Specific issues for discussion are outlined in the consultation concept note, while background information is provided in the Framework for an OECD Strategy on Development.

 

To participate in this consultation, please visit our interactive platform or send an email to [email protected].
