OECD Work on Rural Development

The OECD Rural Development Conference Series, overseen by OECD’s Regional Development Policy Committee (RDPC) and its Working Party on Rural Policy, was first initiated in 2002. The series provides the premier international forum for policy officials, experts, private sector representatives and civil society, to engage in dialogue whilst strengthening existing networks and fostering knowledge-sharing on rural policies across the OECD and partner countries. This regular dialogue, comprising stakeholders of all levels, has helped shape OECD work on rural development leading to the definition and measurement of the performance of rural regions, the evaluation of rural policies amongst OECD member countries and a number of thematic studies on rural development.
