makers

● Networking and multi-sectoral actions through the

function of the Committee

● Integrating MDG strategy into the country National

Development Plan

• Each champion and related agencies are responsible

for

The Challenges

• The MDG+ goals and targets should be set

and point to the problem of specific

population group in specific area.

● The people and policy maker in the specific

area should be paticipate in the MGD+

processing.

• Thailand have MDG at sub-national level;

call “ MDG* “

14

What is MDG*?

6 ธั�นวาคม 25488

• Specific goals were set in line with the provincial context - Based on area context - Point to the area problem

• Indicators for monitoring the specific goals - Targets are specific to the vulnerable target groups

- Target was suitable and feasible to the specific population group
