2026 OECD Global Forum on Building Trust and Reinforcing Democracy – 12-13 October, Paris

The OECD Trust Survey shows that governments are unable to translate long-term and complex policy agendas into tangible results. There is a sense that governments are “stuck” and that a significant transformation is now required to ensure that democratic governments deliver for citizens. At the same time, there is need for governments to act to support the democratic resilience of our societies themselves. The 2026 Global Forum on Building Trust and Reinforcing Democracy will provide a platform to explore these challenges through the OECD’s Government Unstuck agenda.
