Thailand: Gender Budgeting Action Plan

Abstract

Thailand set out a commitment to introduce gender budgeting in its 2017 Constitution. This Gender Budgeting Action Plan, prepared at the request of the Thai government, assesses the extent to which the necessary foundations are in place to develop and implement an effective approach to gender budgeting. It also proposes a path forward for Thailand to roll out an incremental approach to gender budgeting, grounded upon international standards set by the OECD. This work is carried out in the context of the OECD’s Thailand Country Programme.
