Human Development Forum Foundation is a dedicated educational and research organization, defined by our motto, “knowledge improves life.” We are a Thailand-based independent, non-governmental foundation without any religious or political affiliations. Our research and training staff come from a diverse background including education, business, development, social work, and defense, among others. With decades of combined academic and real-world experience, we strive to build local capacity, improve the security of our communities, and contribute meaningful knowledge to society through all of our educational and research programs. HDFF’s programs cover a wide range of topics, including disaster prevention and preparedness, conflict resolution, capacity building, and increasing local level participation through the training of communities and local officials. Additionally, HDFF also conducts research on policy studies and all aspects of human security, including non-traditional security issues and maritime security.
