New publications Applying the OECD Principles on Water Governance to Floods: A Checklist for Action

Recent Trends in International Migration of Doctors, Nurses and Medical Students

This report uses the OECD Principles on Water Governance as a tool for multi-stakeholder policy dialogue and practical assessment of the performance of flood governance systems. It applies the Principles to flood-prone contexts to help strengthen governance frameworks for managing risk.

This report describes recent trends in the international migration of doctors and nurses in OECD countries. It includes four case studies on the internationalisation of medical education in Europe (France, Ireland, Poland and Romania) as well as a case study on the integration of foreign-trained doctors in Canada.
