This integrated programme provides detailed information about the activities of the Centre for Co-operation with Non-Members(CCNM) planned for 2001. The centre promotes and co-ordinates the OECD's policy dialogue and co-operation with non-OECD members. It ensures that this dialogue remains relevant, effective and forward-looking and that it serves as a focal point for relations between the OECD and non-Member economies. Essentially, the CCNM brings together reformers from around the world to share policy experience and analysis contributing to sustainable global economic growth and social development. The CCNM operates under the overall guidance of the committee on co-operation with non-members, a subsidiary, intergovernmental body of the council. Currently, the OECD maintains contacts with approximately 70 non-Members. While overseeing and providing coherence to more than 120 activities, the CCNM monitors and analyses developments in non-Members. This work builds upon OECD work with member countries. Programmes and activities are implemented primarily by CCNM staff located in the specialised directorates across the organisation. This ensures that the same qulity standards apply to work with members and non-members alike. A new programme architecture has been designed to provide a more coherent structure while maintaining the geographic balance of the programmes. Pillar 1, the OECD Global Forums, is a set of specialised dialogue initiatives and networks characterised by global participation and flexibility to cope with evolving circumstances. It addresses priority issues that defy resolution in individual contries or world regions. Mutually beneficial dialogue on these issues between member and relevant non-member economies around the world is critical to achieving progress in the search for solutions. The Forums cover eight themes: (1) Sustainable Development; (2) Knowledge Economy, comprising Biotechnology and E-Commerce; (3) Governance, comprising E-Government, Regulatory Reform, Corporate Governance, and Anti-Corruption: (4) Taxation; (5) Trade; (6) International Investment; (7) Agriculture; and (8) Competition Policy. Pillar 2, the regional and country programmes, is consolidated into three areas: Europe and Central Asia; Asia and South America. Each geographic area consists of a regional programme, and in certain cases, sub-regional (such as, the Baltic Regional Programme and the South Eastern Europe Regional Programme), as well as one country programme for each geographic area (Brazil, China and Russia). Subject to the availability of additional voluntary funding, Exploratory Work can be undertaken in other regions in response to new and emerging issues. A third section describes OECD Partnerships. The CCNM plays a key role in promoting and monitoring the development and implementation of OECD partnerships with other organisations. It ensures the tansparency of ongoing initatives and acts as a clearing-house for good practices across the OECD regarding co-operation with other organisations.
