UNDP’s strategic positioning

The UNDP-Thailand partnership has covered a number of areas including technical assistance, project support, policy dialogue, research and publication, capacity development, and advocacy. UNDP has developed a long-term trusted partnership with the Government at the national, provincial, and local levels. UNDP’s credibility derives from its impartiality and neutrality. Unlike other organizations, UNDP has extended its support to address a wide range of concerns in many sectors. UNDP also takes a leadership role in supporting South-South cooperation through TICA, as well as providing support for Thailand to achieve its MDG-Plus targets. In general, most of the stakeholders expressed moderate satisfaction with UNDP’s strategic positioning in group interviews and surveys. This chapter assesses the extent to which UNDP has strategically positioned itself to Thailand’s development goals.
