Sida’s Partnership with the OECD

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2020. The aim of the organisation is to help governments of its member states design and implement better policies so that people may enjoy better lives. The OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is a forum to discuss issues on development cooperation and poverty reduction in developing countries. Sweden has been a member of the OECD since the organisation was founded in 1961. Like all members, Sweden has a permanent delegation to the OECD headquarters in Paris. Sida supports the OECD and DAC through programme funding and by providing expertise in various working groups and networks.
