The OECD Development Centre identifies and frames critical global issues and brings them to the global development debate through our engagement with global actors and processes such as the G20 and the post-2015 discussions. Our Perspectives on Global Development series and other research on global challenges provide analysis and an evidence base to underpin development understanding and decision-making. |

Boosting productivity growth in emerging-market and developing economies will be essential if they are to close the gap in living standards with advanced economies, and improving the skills of the labour force is at the core of boosting productivity. Perspectives on Global Development 2021 examines the productivity challenge specifically for middle-income countries. |
Despite significant improvements in their education systems, many developing countries still suffer from skills mismatches, which can affect productivity and labour conditions. Currently, the Centre is engaged in a project that aims to assess to what extent Togo's higher education system responds to labour market needs. |
Industrial policy is making its way back onto the development policy agenda. Perspectives on Global Development 2013 explores how developing countries can pursue smart industrial policy by promoting research and innovation and designing supportive infrastructure and skills policies.

The OECD Development Centre contributes its expertise to the G20’s work on development as well as the post-2015 discussions. As well as taking part in these processes, the Centre also seeks views from different actors to discover where there is alignment on global challenges and where common ground still needs to be found. |
The OECD Development Communication Network (DevCom) helps governments build public support for global development and cooperation. At DevCom events, participants share lessons and identify principles for good development communications. They test ideas, discuss latest trends in communication and explore ways to collaborate on specific themes. |
