Focus

  • Driving Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development

    This report highlights countries’ practices in implementing the OECD Council Recommendation on Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development (PCSD). It illustrates how governments can use institutional mechanisms for PCSD to address complex international problems together – including implementing the 2030 Agenda – and explores how policy coherence principles can be applied to promote whole-of-government approaches to policymaking.

We work to strengthen the capacity of governments to design, implement and monitor coherent and integrated policies for sustainable development.
