Kompass Campus, Bangkok, Thailand
In the past few years, COVID-19 has led the global community to face one of the greatest multi-dimensional challenges of our lifetime. Although the current state of the epidemic is not as severe as it was at its outset, it is still not over. The outlook remains fragile and the path to recovery is slow and uncertain. Much will still depend on how the pandemic evolves. It is clear that in any eventuality, the economic and social cost of the pandemic will continue to be felt for years to come.

Moreover, in the past, the policies and welfare systems of many countries have not covered all people nationally, especially those in the greatest need of help. There are still a lot of people who have not been taken care of. In Thailand, for example, it is estimated that over 60% of Thai people are likely to be left behind. Most of these people have only a middle school education or lower and there are still many groups which are outside the educational system who are not employed. This is a major loss for the labour force of the country. The public sector of each country has many issues that must be dealt with in order to tackle these crises and they must be prepared to accommodate changes that will occur in the future. But no matter what policy is implemented, the most important thing that must not be forgotten is that “human” must be at the centre of development. This is allowing humans to flourish is a fundamental factor in the sustainable progress of the nation. The International Conference on Nation-Building (ICNB) 2023 is based on the theme “Human-Centred Development for Nation-Building”. The purpose of this conference is to understand, review, and recommend human-centred development strategies in economic, social, and political aspects that promote and facilitate present and future nation building. Some essential questions that are going to be discussed in the ICNB 2023 are: The conference will bring together thousands of delegates represented by local, regional, and international leaders and experts, from North America, Europe, Africa, Australia & Oceania, Latin America, and Asia, to discuss issues pertaining to human-centred development for nation-building. This conference is vital to the development of an eco-system that supports people in the search for solutions relating to human-centred development. It aims at galvanizing partnerships from multi-key stakeholders to maximize human capital and develop quality people who can help shape their respective countries towards becoming more civilized nations.
