The National Dialogue on Water in Thailand, initiated in 2021, covers two main topics selected by the Government of Thailand. The first one is water demand management, with a focus on the Eastern Economic Corridor. The second one is financing water supply and sanitation.
Both combine to support a sustainable and resilient development pathway for Thailand's fast-growing economy.
This report highlights analysis and policy and recommendations covering issues such as the design of economic policy instruments, water allocation regimes, increasing demand for reclaimed water, or benchmarking the performance of water utilities, and blended finance for water supply and sanitation services. They can be a source of inspiration in other contexts in South-East Asia and globally.
