UN Resident Coordinator for Thailand Annual Report 2001

I am pleased to share with you a copy of the Annual Report of the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Thailand for the year 2001.

The report outlines the achievements made by the UN-wide system in Thailand during the past year in which the UN collaborative structure and joint activities were further enhanced through the quarterly Heads of Agency Meetings as well as the meetings and activities of the various inter-agency committees and the thematic working groups.

The report provides an overview of the Thai development scene in year 2001 and focuses on the development cooperation as well as humanitarian activities undertaken by the UN agencies in Thailand, both jointly and individually. It also reports on the initiatives taken by the UN in the following areas: - the UNDAF, the MDGs and special cross-cutting issues like HIV/AIDS, Gender, Governance and Human Rights and Trafficking of Women and Children. It further describes the structure of collaboration among the UN agencies present, which is rather unique as Bangkok serves as a regional center for most of the UN agencies operating in this part of the world.

I hope that the report will serve as a useful reference document on the work of the UN system in Thailand, not only for the UN family but also for our partners in the field of development.

I would be honored to receive any comments you may have.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

J. K. Robert England UN Resident Coordinator
