 |

Scorecard for Thailand: Target already achieved
Target 2: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger
Scorecard for Thailand: Target already achieved
Several decades of extensive rural development programmes undertaken by various government and non-government agencies in Thailand have resulted in overall achievement in reducing poverty, improving nutrition, and meeting basic human needs of the entire population. There are several on-going government programmes, for example, debt reduction schemes, the Village Fund, micro-credit schemes, low-cost housing and the universal health care scheme, contributing further to this success.
The next challenge lies in targeting people in very remote areas and reaching out to elusive or difficult-to-reach population groups such as the elderly, people with disabilities, homeless people, people living with HIV/AIDS, and migrants. Another challenge is to enhance the cost-effectiveness of intervention programmes, and to decentralize service delivery to local authorities and non-governmental organisations while maintaining high standards of quality.
