Development is Back by Organization For Economic Co-Operation And Development
Achieving the economic development of poor countries remains a formidable challenge which increasingly preoccupies OECD countries. The Organization's Development Centre was founded in 1962 as one means to study and to confront the problems of comparative development and to relate them to experiences in the more advanced economies. This book provides a compendium of that experience and looks forward to future policies and strategies, which might provide some solutions to the problems facing developing countries. Some reflections are also included on how the Development Centre has evolved and been transformed better to synchronize with the OECD's overall efforts in favor of the poorer countries, regions, and peoples.
