Thailand

Pact began working in Thailand in 2006, creating lasting change by building the capacity of local institutions to improve people’s lives. Much of Pact’s efforts in Thailand have focused on improving HIV prevention and care services, people's livelihoods, and the management of natural resources.

Recently, Pact’s work in Thailand, and the wider southeast Asia region, has focused on the environment. Through USAID Green Invest Asia, Pact supported countries to achieve sustainable landscape-related climate mitigation goals as submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The project catalyzed private sector finance to upscale and drive investments in agriculture, forestry, and other land use toward low-emission, profitable business models. 

Through the Sustainable Infrastructure Partnership, Pact worked with governments in the Lower Mekong region to build capacity for managing the impacts of environmental change. The program supported planners and policymakers in the use of technical and conceptual tools to better understand how pressures on land and water resources are affecting local populations. 

Through the Mekong Connections project, Pact helped to build an engagement network of key stakeholders to foster transboundary collaboration and information-sharing among local voices on key policy challenges facing the Mekong region.
