## OECD Friends of Foresight

Welcome.

You're here because you're either interested in taking part in our survey on preparing for the future, you came to find out more about how foresight can support development cooperation.

#### Access Resources

- For a quick overview of foresight and how it can help, [read our **Chatham House** article](https://hub.soif.org.uk/hubfs/With-foresight-the-frog-might-not-croak.pdf?hsLang=en).
- For more about the potential for foresight in development, read [our chapter](https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/development-co-operation-report-2018_dcr-2018-en#page251) on ***Using foresight Methods to adapt development co-operation for the future**"* in OECD's *Development Co-operation Report 2018: Joining Forces to Leave No One Behind.*
- You'll also find a **foresight primer** and **toolkit** – useful resources if you are interested in building your foresight capability, or are looking to try out foresight tools internally or with partners.

#### **Take the survey**

- Take our survey on preparing for the future. We'll share a synthesis of findings back with those of you who take part. Any information you submit will be anonymous, though we do ask for some information about you to help us analyse the data. 

#### **Next steps**

- If you'd like to learn more about foresight and building your personal practice then join us at our ninth annual foresight retreat [SOIF2020](https://soif.org.uk/retreat/soif2020-summer-foresight-retreat/).
