Regional Workshop on Participatory Public Policy Formulation & Implementation

For a number of years King Prajadhipok’s Institute of Thailand has been one of CDI major partners in the region. While KPI has an extensive program in consolidating Thailand's democracy, it also has the ambition of reaching out to neighbouring countries striving to establish systems of democratic governance. In this regard, KPI, with support from CDI, organised a regional workshop on participatory public policy formulation and invited 18 regional participants to attend. The President of the Senate of Thailand, H. E. Mr. Suchon Chaleekure, gave the opening address, KPI President Noranit Setabutr welcomed participants and CDI Director Roland Rich delivered the first substantive presentation analysing public service systems in the region.

The Centre for Democratic Institutions (CDI) is a government-funded body that supports the efforts of new democracies in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen their political systems. It provides training, technical assistance and peer support for parliamentarians and emerging leaders in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji.

The Australian Government established CDI in 1998. It is funded primarily by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). One of the primary ways in which CDI works to promote democracy is through strengthening parliamentary governance and political parties. The Centre focusses on parliamentary and political party development, and conducts flagship training courses and policy-relevant research on these subjects.
