FGV-OECD Partnership 

Working as partners since 2010, FGV Projetos and the OECD constantly collaborate in exchanging knowledge across several different fields, such as economy, agriculture, energy, and urbanization, among others. A series of initiatives were developed under this partnership, including studies, publications, international seminars and events, particularly the OECD Forum, which gathers government leaders, executives, unions, civil society, academia, and press members every year to discuss the main global social and economic challenges.

FGV is also responsible for translating, updating and promoting the “Better Life Index” among all Portuguese-speaking audiences, which reveals the performance of OECD member countries in education, healthcare, housing, income and other central items for well-being.
