OECD Expert Briefing: From Research to the Real World - How Governments Can Use What the OECD Produces

 

**Please note this event has been rescheduled from Tuesday, Jan 26 to Friday, Jan 29**

 

The OECD produces powerful domestic policy tools for governments by setting benchmarks, comparing progress, and pointing out best practices. But are policymakers and stakeholders in OECD member and partner countries using this information to their citizens’ best advantage?

Join OECD Washington Center for a special 2016 kickoff event that looks at how governments and stakeholders already use what the OECD produces to make people’s lives better – and offers an overview of untapped resources that can further inform domestic policymaking.
