The OECD has a long history supporting countries and works bilaterally with Southeast Asian countries, in applying normative guidance and evidence-based analysis towards better regulation. Support involves a unique blend of approaches that combines technical knowledge with practical experiences from OECD countries and access to senior government officials through the OECD Regulatory Policy Committee.
Co-operation between the OECD and countries can come in variety of forms, including in:
Areas of application include: regulatory strategy and oversight, good regulatory practices – regulatory impact assessments (RIA), stakeholder engagement and evaluations) – regulatory delivery, international regulatory cooperation, regulating in the age of emerging technologies, and the application of behavioural insights.

Country-level support is part of the OECD’s work in regulatory policy in South East Asia, which includes regional-level work and the ASEAN-OECD Good Regulatory Practice Network.
