SDC – OECD policy coherence for sustaina-ble development partnership on investment and responsible business conduct frame-works

Proyecto terminado

The strategic engagement with the OECD / Directorate of Financial and Enterprise Affairs (DAF) aims at the targeted promotion of investment policy research projects, of responsible business conduct (RBC) initiatives as well as of outreach activities which foster the investment and development nexus. This col-laboration will nurture a policy coherence for sustainable development (PCSD) approach and substantiate the dialogue on investment and development within the OECD and beyond.

Contexto Alongside aid and tax, investment is a central pillar for the financing of the Agenda 2030. Yet not all investments contribute to sustainable and inclusive development; appropriate policies are needed to increase investment flows that are conducive to positive development out-comes and contribute to the SDG. The OECD, through its Directorate for Financial and Enter-prise Affairs (DAF) and its Investment Division (INV) and Committee (IC), is a worldwide refer-ence for investment and responsible business conduct (RBC) policies, and provides a unique platform for policy research and dialogue.
Objetivos Sustainable development issues and approaches are integrated in key INV initiatives and foster the PCSD dialogue on investment and development among member states and between OECD directorates, in particular DAF and DCD (Development Co-operation Directorate).
