What We Do
Environmentally-Sustainable Development The Environment programme is based on a partnership approach that brings in a number of stakeholders, including communities, NGOs, and local and national authorities. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has allocated US$23.9 million to Thailand through 2010 in two critical focal areas: biodiversity and climate change. UNDP also manages the GEF Small Grants Programme, through which over 200 small projects have been implemented in Thailand since 1998.
Responsive Governance At the national level, UNDP helps foster democratic governance by providing support to civic education among the general public. At the local level, UNDP supports the government’s decentralisation process by building capacity for strategic planning and service delivery, particularly at the municipal and sub-district levels.
International Partnership for Development A key component of the UNDP-Thailand partnership focuses on promoting Thailand as an emerging donor and contributor to the global partnership for development. Areas of collaboration include: supporting new initiatives to enhance cooperation between Thailand and developing countries in the region and beyond, strengthening the effectiveness and coordination of Thailand’s development aid with that of other countries.
Millennium Development Goals UNDP is helping to build a coalition in Thailand that promotes action on the MDGs. UNDP also supports Thailand in its MDG-plus targets and going beyond national achievements to focus on specific regions and groups.
HIV/AIDS UNDP Thailand focuses on three priorities: promoting broad-based dialogue and analysis on HIV/AIDS; capacity building at the provincial and local levels to foster a more inclusive, rights-based and gender sensitive response to HIV/AIDS; and fighting stigma and discrimination.
