THE OECD – Who we are, what we do
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 Statistics and Data Directorate
The Statistics and Data Directorate (SDD) is the focal point for the OECD’s cutting-edge work on statistics and data, providing evidence on a comparable basis and from a variety of sources to analysts, policy makers, and members of civil society and ensuring the quality of all OECD data. SDD develops new metrics and innovative digital tools to address emerging policy issues, leads the development of international statistical standards, advances statistical methodology, and co-ordinates statistical and data-related activities within the Organisation and with other international organisations. The Directorate currently employs more than 80 staff members who support statistical work across a broad range of policy areas.
