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 Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD) encourages co-ordinated, innovative international action to accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2030 in developing countries and improve the financing of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the quality and effectiveness of development co-operation. The Directorate helps set international standards for development co-operation, supports the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and monitors how donors deliver on their commitments. Drawing upon OECD-wide input, the DCD supports members and partners with data, analysis and guidance. Sitting within DCD's Director's Office, the Development Co-operation Research Unit seeks to bridge research and evidence at the frontier of international development with the development co-operation community. The Unit collaborates with development policy makers and leading think tanks, researchers and experts from across the OECD and internationally with a view to bringing new perspectives, especially from the Global South.
