Who We Are
& What We Do
The National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) was established to realize His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s vision of advancing Thailand’s development through an advanced educational institution — preparing people to become agents of change for national development.
Although NIDA was originally established to support national development in Thailand, this objective has now been expanded to encompass regional development in countries outside of Thailand, with the aim of producing advanced degree graduates who can serve in the public, business, and nonprofit sectors.
ICO NIDA aims at being an interdisciplinary school by taking advantage of the inherent relationships among complementary subjects, offering all courses in English with 10 distinguished concentrations in the Master of Management program.
“Offering international programs in management will help strengthen the field of development administration studies, which has always been the symbol of NIDA”
— Dean, ICO NIDA
