This document presents a survey instrument for measuring financial literacy among owners of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). It was developed by the OECD International Network on Financial Education (INFE) through an iterative process, which included a pilot test in seven volunteering countries in 2018-2019.

Ces principes de 2019 aident les fournisseurs de développement et de coopération humanitaire à surmonter des défis complexes pour atteindre les résultats escomptés en termes de développement durable. S'appuyant sur les principes de la gestion axée sur les résultats du développement, adoptés par les agences de développement lors de la table ronde internationale sur les résultats à Marrakech (février 2004), ils ont défini une pratique renouvelée qui prend en compte l'évolution du contexte mondial et l'élargissement de l’éventail des acteurs.

These 2019 Principles help providers of development and humanitarian co-operation navigate complex challenges to reach their expected results in terms of sustainable development. Building on the Managing for Development Results principles endorsed by development agencies at the international roundtable on results in Marrakech (February 2004), they set out a renewed practice that takes into account the changing global context and expanding array of actors.

The OECD DAC Blended Finance Principles for Unlocking Commercial Finance for the SDGs give a clear definition and provide a five-point checklist to ensure blended finance meets accepted quality standards and achieves impact, based on a development rationale promoted by Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members. These Principles represent a critical first step towards ensuring that donors engage in the right way, by guaranteeing that the policy framework is fit for purpose. Whether a donor is looking to begin a blending programme or already has one, we recommend that the OECD DAC Principles be used to test assumptions about how blending is currently being undertaken on critically important aspects such as the engagement of local capital markets, the use of concessionality as a precondition to blending, or the provision of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.

A shared value-system and guidance, aimed at streamlining the various approaches to commercial capital targeting SDGs. The 2019 Roadmap recognises that market-wide, co-ordinated action is necessary to mobilise the financing, and deliver the development impact that will lead to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Three ongoing mega-trends have the potential of significantly altering the nature of work in all G20 countries, albeit with different intensity: globalisation, technological progress and demographic change - as well as the changes in values and preferences that will go paired with them. Together, these trends are likely to affect the quantity and quality of jobs that are available, as well as how and by whom they will be carried out.

This paper outlines how these different challenges can limit, and sometimes prohibit, donors from working to strengthen the resilience of people, communities, and states and their institutions. The paper also proposes a menu of incentives that could be useful in different contexts to ensure political buy-in for resilience, to drive behaviour change by all actors, and to ensure that the risk analysis actually leads to the prioritization of resilience programming.

Antimicrobial resistance is rapidly becoming a top health problem that could pose a significant challenge to the functioning of healthcare systems and their budget. The findings presented in the report show that there is a strong case for G7 action in the area of AMR.

The following guidelines provide detailed guidance on how to organize a Resilience System Analysis workshop. They support the OECD’s “Guidance for Resilience System Analysis”.

Development practitioners are often ill equipped to analyse the potential of communities to cope with the complex, interconnected and evolving risks they face. As a result, development and humanitarian programmes only partially integrate those resilience aspects. These guidelines propose a step-by-step approach to resilience systems analysis, to help field practitioners prepare for, and facilitate, a successful multi-stakeholder resilience analysis workshop; design a roadmap to boost the resilience of communities and societies; and integrate the results of the analysis into their development and humanitarian programming.

Report on youth employment and apprenticeships prepared for the G20 Labour and Employment Ministerial Meeting, Melbourne, Australia, 10-11 September 2014. All G20 economies face considerable challenges in ensuring that young people are well integrated into the world of work. In some, the key challenges are to lower youth unemployment and improve access to either work or study. In others, it is to raise the skills of youth and to improve access to quality jobs, often in the context of a large and growing cohort of youth entering the labour market. These challenges have become even more daunting over the past years as the global financial and economic crisis hit youth particularly hard in most G20 economies and it is only recently that their situation in the labour market has begun to improve even if in some cases only marginally.

This Guide suggests an approach that competition authorities could refer to when carrying out an impact assessment of their activities.

This publication sets out the updated "G20/OECD High-Level Principles on Financial Consumer Protection” (Principles), which have been reviewed 10 years after they were developed. The revisions incorporate policy developments over the past 10 years, including digitalisation, sustainable finance, financial well-being and high-level lessons learnt from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, so the Principles continue to represent global best practices and are forward-looking.

This set of common principles for all development actors was adopted by representatives of government, multilateral organisations, civil society, private sector, foundations and other actors in 2011. It centres on: Ownership of development priorities by developing counties; A focus on results; Partnerships for development; Transparency and shared responsibility.

Youth are a key asset for society. Equipping youth with the skills needed today and giving them opportunities to become well-integrated into the labour market contributes not only to their own well-being but also to the producive potential of the economy and to social cohesion more generally. This is fully recognised by the G20 Leaders who, at their summit in Pittburgh in 2009, stressed the need to put quality jobs at the heart of the recovery and pledged to support robust train­ing efforts in their growth strategies. In 2010, the G 20 Employment and Labour Ministers in Washington also stressed the need to accelerate job creation while provid­ing better support and access to social protection for disadvantaged youth.

Endorsed in December 2008, these Guiding Principles suggest concrete ways policy advisors and programme managers, in both donor and partner countries, can achieve better development results by improving gender equality and supporting women’s empowerment.

This online Manual on Effective Mutual Agreement Procedures (MEMAP) is part of a broader project to improve the functioning of existing international tax dispute procedures and to develop supplementary dispute resolution mechanisms. MEMAP is intended as a guide to increase awareness of the MAP process and how it should function. It will provide tax administrations and taxpayers with basic information on the operation of MAP and identify best practices for MAP without imposing a set of binding rules upon Member countries.

Canada presented its Written Follow-Up to the Phase 2 Report, outlining its responses to the Recommendations adopted by the Working Group on Bribery (WGB), at the March 2006 meeting of the WGB. Since its evaluation under Phase 2, Canada has taken important steps in a number of areas to implement the Recommendations adopted by the Working Group. This report was approved and adopted by the Working Group on Bribery in International Business Transactions on 21 June 2006.
