It aims at improving evidence and identifying policy guidelines to promote development through production transformation, upgrading and better participation in global value chains. This Initiative is part of the implementation of the OECD Strategy on Development, adopted by the OECD Council at the Ministerial level in May The Initiative is led by the OECD Development Centre and counts with the cooperation of OECD Directorates, including the Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD), Statistics Directorate (STD), Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs (DAF), Trade and Agriculture Directorate (TAD) and the Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). The Initiative comprises a network of high level government representatives from Ministries of Industry, Trade, Economy and Finance from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the OECD. The Initiative benefits from an Advisory Board of Experts from 11 International Organisations (AUC, EU, ILO, ECA, ECLAC, ESCAP, ESCWA, UNCTAD, UNIDO, World Bank and WTO). The Initiative meets two times per year in the context of plenary meetings to discuss the implementation of the Programme of Work and to promote knowledge sharing and peer learning on development strategies, GVCs and production transformation. For more information, please visit the website: ABOUT THE MEETING Format of the meeting The format of the meeting differs from traditional seminars.
