The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding 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, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
The core mission of the Directorate for Communications is to maximise the reach and impact of the OECD and its work through clear, cutting-edge, evidence-based communications carried out with policy directorates. Within the Directorate for Communications, the mission of the Strategic Communications and Outreach Division is to drive the development of comprehensive communications plans and then amplify to policy audiences and the public the Organisation’s key priorities as defined in the Annual OECD Communications Plan and the Strategic Orientations of the Secretary-General.
