Water for People" marks the first case in UNDP's work in Thailand that the majority of project resources come from a government organization.

Small grant funded initiatives managed by these organizations provide evidence that local ownership is often the best solution to local challenges.
"Water for People" takes an already successful system and makes it even better. More than twenty agencies came together May 31 in Nan Province to brainstorm how they could strike a better balance in agricultural development over the next 10 years.
