Historique

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in more than 170 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.

Thailand is a strong supporter of the United Nations and UNDP. The ultimate goal of UNDP is to improve the lives of the people of Thailand through the broad thematic areas of poverty reduction, democratic governance, energy and the environment, policy advocacy, gender equality, and HIV/AIDS. UNDP partners with line ministries to help Thailand achieve its ambitious Millennium Development Goal targets (MDGs) as well as the national objectives articulated in the United Nations Partnership Framework (UNPAF) for 2012-2016.

UNDP is working with the Royal Thai Government, civil society, national partners and the Thai public to help find solutions to persistent development challenges. We continue to work to provide technical expertise, such as improved data quality and collection, international expertise on environmental issues like climate change finance and adaptation.

UNDP's priority in a middle-income country like Thailand is to work within outlined agreements like the UNPAF and Thailand's 11th National Plan. We continue to provide strong policy advice and advocacy on normative UN issues such as gender equality, social and economic inequality, human rights, and rule of law.
