Strategic foresight system in Flanders

Given the important role of strategic foresight in policy-making and resilience, the government of Flanders has been taking steps to systematise its capabilities in the area. In 2021, a new and dedicated unit – Strategic Insights and Analyses (SIA) – was created at the Chancellery and Foreign Office as part of the recommendations of the Economic and Social Recovery Committees. Within the Flemish Resilience and Recovery plan (RRP) and the Flemish contribution to the RRP of Belgium monitoring activities, the unit would strongly benefit from high-level technical support to develop strategic foresight capacity. In 2022, the government of Flanders began collaborating with the OECD on assessing the current strategic foresight capacity of the government of Flanders and co-creating a blueprint for the systemic integration of strategic foresight into its policy-making system.
