This database presents the bodies established by the Council in accordance with Article 9 of the Convention, together with such sub-committees, working parties, groups of experts, ad hoc groups, etc., as those bodies have, in their turn, set up to assist them with their work.

For each body/group listed, information is provided, as far as it is available, regarding the Chairs/Vice-Chairs, Date of Creation, the Mandate and its duration.

Alongside formal bodies, the OECD has created Global Fora, which are networks of policy makers and stakeholders from OECD Members and non-Members discussing issues that defy the country or regional scope and call for global solutions. Global Fora are not OECD bodies. More information on Global Fora is available at: http://www.oecd.org/global-relations/globalforums/.

For information on Partners’ participation in OECD bodies, please consult the OECD webpage on “partnerships in OECD Bodies”. Partners in specific committees are included in Participation Plans available at this address: https://www.oecd.org/global-relations/partnershipsinoecdbodies/#  

The content of the database is regularly updated by the Directorates.

Comments on, or additions to, the database information are welcome. Please contact the Directorate concerned for current groups with a copy to Council Secretariat and the Service Desk.
