INTERPRETING FOR THE - iamladp

The Organisation for
Economic Cooperation
and Development
The OECD provides a setting where
governments of democratic market
economies can compare policy
experiences, seek answers to common
problems, identify good practice and
coordinate domestic and international
policies.
OECD’s work is based on continued
monitoring of events in member
countries as well as outside the OECD
area, and includes regular
projections of short and medium-term
economic developments. The OECD
Secretariat collects and analyses data on
the basis of which
the Organisation makes
recommendations to the Member
governments.
From its headquarters in Paris it recruits
mostly from the Paris FR-EN bi-active
market, with some other languages
required for occasional meetings, most
frequently Arabic, Chinese, German,
Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and
Spanish.
OECD employs 19 staff interpreters on a
full-time or part-time basis, and recruits
roughly 900 free-lance interpreter days,
almost exclusively in Paris, every year.
