The OECD has recently defined a "new vision" for its statistical activities, deciding to develop a new statistical information system based on a corporate strategy. One of the targets of this strategy is to increase the positive perception of OECD statistical work within the Organisation and users in Member countries (primarily in ministerial authorities, OECD Delegations, national statistical offices, media) and in other international organisations. To achieve this target, one of the actions commenced by the OECD has been the definition of a new policy for increasing the external communication to users and policy makers about the statistical activities and results. The paper describes the characteristics of this policy, focusing on the aspects more relevant for the relationships with private and public decision makers.
