Collaborating to Achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030
The Ministry of Interior in Thailand is joining forces with local communities to drive the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Their efforts aim to address the hardships faced by citizens at all levels and eradicate poverty in all areas of the country.
Empowering Local Communities through Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Human Development Centers
In line with the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP), the Ministry of Interior has established Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Human Development Centers at the local level. Governors and district chiefs are tasked with leading initiatives to address citizens’ hardships and produce tangible results.
The Ministry of Interior focuses on individual households, using data from the Targeted Human Development Data Management System (Thai People Map and Analytics Platform or TPMAP). This platform serves as the foundation for driving change in every province.
Supporting Citizens through a 24-Hour Hotline
To further assist citizens in need, the Ministry of Interior has launched a 24-hour hotline at the Center for Moral Rectitude (1567) to address complaints and provide support for those experiencing hardships.
Working Towards the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals
This initiative, titled “76 Provinces, 76 Commitments,” is part of the Ministry of Interior’s efforts to achieve the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The focus is on the social dimension (People) of the SDGs, which includes:
- SDG1: Eradicating Poverty
- SDG2: Ending Hunger
- SDG3: Good Health and Well-being
- SDG4: Quality and Equitable Education
- SDG5: Gender Equality
The Importance of Collaboration and Shared Responsibility
Everyone has a role to play in promoting health and well-being within their families and communities. Citizens are encouraged to seek help if they face challenges, either through consulting with family members or by calling the Center for Moral Rectitude’s hotline at 1567.
As the 2030 deadline for achieving the SDGs approaches, the responsibility of meeting these goals lies with everyone. By working together and collaborating, it is possible to create a better, more sustainable world for future generations.
