The OECD's Knowledge Exchange Platform (KEP) focuses on well-being metrics and policy practices, facilitating a space for peer learning and collaboration among member countries. It aims to enhance the effectiveness of well-being policies through modular activities, online platforms, workshops, and resource sharing. The platform fosters international interest in well-being measurement and its application to policy, highlighting the need for multidimensional welfare indicators.
