The Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA) launched a publication titled “Thailand’s Best Practices and Lessons Learned in Development Vol. 2” to disseminate examples of approaches to Thailand’s development to the global community. As a trusted partner for development, Thailand supports various developing countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through South-South and triangular cooperation.
The said book presented success stories demonstrating development approaches guided by the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP) as a core principle of the country's development, which aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across eight key areas: Smart Agriculture & Food Security; Good Health & Well-being; Climate Change & Environment Issues; Bio-Circular-Green Economy Model; Social Inclusion; Sustainable Tourism; Decent Work & Economic Development; and Other Issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The book highlights that successful development is people-centered and places importance on a participatory approach that focuses on each local geo-social context with appropriate, accessible, and affordable innovations, all of which can be applied by other developing countries. In this connection, Thailand stands ready to continue to provide development cooperation to other countries toward achieving sustainable development.
