OECD

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was established in 1961, succeeding the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), which was founded to administer the Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. The OECD's mission is to promote policies that improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. It provides a platform for governments to work together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems. The OECD's work spans a wide range of areas, including economic policy, environmental sustainability, education, employment, health, and trade. With a membership comprising 38 countries, the OECD collaborates with numerous non-member countries and other international organizations to address global challenges and foster sustainable development.
