The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organization that works to build better policies for better lives. Their mission is to create policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being around the globe.

Governments, civil societies, international policy makers, and citizens collaborate to establish evidence-based international standards and find solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, the OECD provides a forum and hub for knowledge, data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
