- aim to establish a national mid and long term development strategy by 2020 -


The National Assembly Futures Institute (President Park Jin) has confirmed its research plan for 2019 based on the basic research which has pursued since its opening in May 2018. In order to establish a national mid-and long-term development strategy which is the purpose of its establishment, the NAFI conducted basic research such as designing future research methodology, as well as research on reform tasks and future prediction for 13 major sectors. As an individual case study, the NAFI studied the future of North Korea and the Korean Peninsula. Below is the NAFI's research project plan for 2019.

The characteristic of the multi-year research plan established by the NAFI is the integrated methodology for establishing the national mid-and long-term development strategies. The future research methodology independently systematized by the NAFI is summarized as '① predicting multiple futures ② selecting a desirable future ③ establishing a strategy for a desirable future. This future research methodology is also applied to the establishment of national mid-and long-term development strategies. Accordingly, comprehensive future predictions, research on future preferred by the people, establishment of long-term development plans and implementation strategies etc. are the core of the research to be conducted in 2019. In the implementation strategy, the four strategies that we intend to focus on are ① strategy for strengthening national competitiveness, ② strategy for easing polarization, ③ strategy for improving quality of life, ④ human resource strategy.


In order to establish a national mid-and long-term development strategies and to 'strengthen policy capability of the National Assembly', which is one of the objectives of the NAFI, the NAFI plans to conduct the (tentative title) 'Future Impact Assessment' study targeting the mid- and long-term development plans of each ministry in the executive. In addition, by conducting joint research with research institutes affiliated a parliamentary party etc., it will enhance the policy capability of the National Assembly as well as provide the foundation for collaboration and communication within the National Assembly. In order to strengthen the NAFI's own research capability, it plans to publish a report in English after conducting individual research tasks and conduct research activities including establishing domestic and international future research networks.

The president of the NAFI Park Jin said, "The multi-year research plan, which was established this time, aims to establish and announce a national mid-and long-term development strategies by 2020, and the strategy establishment system is applied to establish a new development strategy in four-year cycles in line with the operating cycle of the National Assembly.
