OECD Development Centre

Etc.

The <b>OECD Development Centre</b> conducts comparative analysis and promotes informal policy dialogue on development issues of mutual interest for [Pagelink infos="Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development|Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development"] member countries and the emerging and developing economies.

Membership to the Development Centre is open to both OECD and non-OECD countries.

As a forum for dialogue, the Development Centre links OECD members with developing and emerging economies and brings together development partners. To foster open debate and creative policy solutions, participants in Centre events are invited in their personal capacity. Topics for dialogue are drawn from the work programme and reflect members’ priorities.

<h2 id="w_work-on-gender">Work on Gender</h2>
The Development Centre works on various issues related to gender equality. It particularly focuses on the impact of [Pagelink infos="Social institutions|social institutions"] such as norms, traditions and [Pagelink infos="Family Code|family law"] on women's social and economic empowerment. In March 2006, the Centre introduced the [Pagelink infos="Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base|Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base"], a comprehensive data collection that can be accessed free of charge on the OECD website. The Development Centre is also the initiator of [Wikigender.org:About|Wikigender], which was [Wikigender.org:Wikigender Launch|launched] on [Pagelink infos="International Women's Day|International Women's Day"] 2008.
