Thailand’s digital government strategy is comprehensive, but lacks formal co-ordination
Thailand’s current digital government strategy applies to the central, regional and local levels and covers common policy areas including general public services, education and social protection. Funding sources are also diverse, ranging from the ministry in charge of co-ordinating the strategy to other sources, depending on specific ICT projects. However, Thailand is the only country that does not have a mutual co-ordination process formally in place among units responsible for public sector ICT projects in 2018.

In 2018, Thailand’s scored 0.9 out of 1 on the index on performance assessment decisions in human resources man-agement, higher than both the SEA average of 0.7 and the 2016 OECD average of 0.65. In 2018, the use of performance-related pay in central government is the second-highest in the region, with a score of 0.85 on the composite indicator for the use of performance related pay; this is higher than the SEA average of 0.52 and the 2016 OECD average of 0.66.

Government at a Glance Southeast Asia 2019
This first edition of Government at a Glance Southeast Asia 2019 draws on data collections from 10 Southeast Asian countries to better inform public sector reforms and evidence-based policy making in the region, with a key focus on a citizen-centric public service. The comparable data presented here also supports peer-to-peer learning between countries. This dashboard of key indicators aims to help policy makers and citizens analyse the relative performance of governments in this highly diverse and fast-developing region. Comparisons are also made against OECD countries in the region such as Australia, Korea, Japan and New Zealand. The 34 indicators cover key aspects of public management, including public finance and economics, public employment, budgeting practices and procedures, strategic human resources management, digital and open government, and citizen-centric services.Copyright © OECD, ADB 2019.
