The five-year plan is the second to be produced under the framework of Chiang Mai’s 20 year development goals (2023–2042), aimed at driving sustainable growth in line with current changes across the economic, social, environmental and technological spheres, as well as national strategy and government policy.
The workshop gave all sectors the opportunity to analyse the province’s situation, strengths, opportunities and challenges, and to contribute ideas on development priorities, targets, indicators and approaches that reflect local needs. Representatives from the National Economic and Social Development Council and the Budget Bureau also attended as resource persons, offering guidance on plan preparation and annual action planning.
The session served as a platform for exchanging recommendations and setting a concrete, integrated direction for provincial development that can be translated into programmes, projects and budget requests across agencies.
