World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.Least Developed Country:YesSince 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.Gender Inequality Index:0.575GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.Gender Development Index:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2023
Legal frameworks and policies to advance women's leadership, women's rights to participate in decision making at national and local levels, and women's access to justice are reformed/ adopted and implemented.
In addition to the Royal Thai Government’s consideration on the development and amendment of several laws aimed at fostering greater inclusivity and recognizing diverse gender identity and relationships, including the d raft Gender Recognition Act , the d raft Civil Partnership Act , and the d raft Amendment to the Civil and Commercial Code (draft Act on equal marriage) , Thailand has conducted an evaluation of the implementation of the Gender Equality Act of 2015. A proposal has been put forth to abolish exceptions on gender discrimination outlined in Article 17, paragraph 2, which currently allows for discrimination based on religious principles or national security reasons. The aim is to align the definition of “discrimination based on gender” with international standards, particularly addressing issues related to gender-based violence and sexual harassment. Acknowledging the results of the performance evaluation, the Law Reform Commission, the Office of the Council of State, and the Committee to Promote Gender Equality have all played key roles. Moving forward, the Department of Women’s Affairs and Family Development will appoint a committee to consider amendments to improve the Gender Equality Act of 2015, aligning it with the evaluation results and international standards in the future.
In 2023, UN Women made substantial strides in collaboration with approximately 20 civil society organizations (CSOs) and women-led organizations at both national and local levels, aiming to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment. The collective efforts focused on two critical thematic issues: Women Peace and Security (WPS) and gender-responsive Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and preparedness, resulting in impactful outcomes.
Sixteen local CSOs/NGOs from the Southern Border Provinces, actively participating in the Coordination Center for Children and Women (CCCW) Committee, along with three national CSOs/NGOs affiliated with the Sub-Committee on Women Peace and Security, played pivotal roles in coordinating the implementation of the Measure and Guideline on Women Peace and Security in the Southern Border Provinces. Their engagement extended to supporting the drafting of the National Action Plan on Women Peace and Security. Through consistent advocacy efforts in the field and advisory functions in both national and local mechanisms, these organizations contributed significantly. The Measure and Guideline on WPS, initially implemented in the Southern border provinces, have expanded to the national Action Plan on WPS, creating a broader and more inclusive interpretation of WPS in Thailand and ensuring nationwide implementation.
Moreover, in collaboration with the Department of Women’s Affairs and Family Development and the Sustainable Development Foundation, UN Women supported local CSOs and authorities in the Southern Border provinces. This support involved training workshops on gender-responsive Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and conducting research and interviews to equip local authorities and communities with knowledge and skills related to DRR. The series of UN Women's support initiatives led to notable achievements:
The Southern Borders Administrative Center (SBPAC), a key government development agency in the Southern Border Provinces, endorsed gender mainstreaming and social inclusion in its organizational policies, enhancing gender-responsive emergency preparedness and risk reduction in the region.
Learning platforms increased understanding and capacity for both government and civil society organizations, fostering linkages between gender and climate change, security, and disaster risk reduction.
The development of community action plans for disaster preparedness and risk reduction with integrated gender considerations in the plans of targeted communities.
The formulation of Standard Operating Procedures for gender-responsive emergency preparedness and risk reduction in communities.
UN Women Thailand's contributions have led to substantial policy-level changes, encouraging both national and local governments to integrate gender into their policies and strategies for advancing Women, Peace, and Development (WPD) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).
UN Women has also supported the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security to develop the National Action Plan on Women Peace and Security and the draft was reviewed by the Sub-Committee on Women Peace and Security with comments for further discussion and revision.
In 2023, UN Women in partnership with the MSDHS has organised two consultation with gocverment stakeholders in September and October to discuss role of relevant organizations in advancing WPS agenda, existing coordination and monitoring mechanisms, and indicators in order to validate National Action Plan on Women Peace and Security on WPSto for further endorsement in the Committee on the Promotion of the Development of the Status of Women, the National Committee on Policy and Strategy for the Development of the Status of Women,and the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC).
The government representative provided fruitful discussion and useful comments on the drfat which were revised accordingly prior to submission to the next step for review and endoresment. The and frutwo consultation meetings included 40 Key national government agencies responsible for WPS advancement.
