ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION
AND DEVELOPMENT
The OECD is a unique forum where governments work together to address the economic, social and
environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and
to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the
information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting
where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good
practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies.
Relevance for Thailand
In Thailand SMEs and entrepreneurship matters are a cross-cutting policy issue
involving several ministries, agencies and other policy delivery organisations. A portfolio
management approach would help meet the challenge of managing and co-ordinating the
various policies, projects, programmes and decisions across these different government
jurisdictions.
