About Us
Thailand Policy Lab is a policy innovation lab established by the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) and the UNDP to innovate Thailand’s public policymaking for greater efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness to new challenges and people’s needs.
INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Unforeseen and emerging development challenges are complex and interconnected. These challenges demand a need to rethink some basic tenets on which the economic, social, political and environmental systems are built, unlock new sustainability paradigms and redefine the local, national and global economy and society. These challenges can no longer be solved only by conventional approaches but require innovation and going beyond business as usual
A LEADING CENTER FOR POLICY INNOVATION
The Thailand Policy Lab is an initiative that introduces an innovative, interdisciplinary approach in public policy-making and public service delivery in Thailand, tapping into insights and the knowledge of people
closest to the problem and solutions.
The Thailand Policy Lab explores, experiments, and develops portfolios of mutually reinforcing solutions to help identify interventions that are grounded in system thinking and help accelerate the transition from short-term to long-term policy and planning.
