Abstract
The Thailand Country Development
Partnership for Social Protection (CDP-SP) is a
collaborative program of policy development and technical
assistance between the Ministry of Labor and Social
Protection and the Bank and was launched in July 2001.
CDP-SP operates in three key policy areas: labor markets;
social insurance; and social assistance and safety nets.
This report reviews the objectives and planning for the
three year rolling program, as it was agreed at the launch
in July 2001; and highlights the performance of CDP-SP in
the first year through June 2002 in five reform areas:
social assistance, employment services, unemployment
insurance, occupational health and safety, data for social
protection. The progress towards achievement of benchmarks
is impressive and ahead of schedule in some respects. The
formal launch of Year 2 of CDP-SP is anticipated to take
place in October/November 2002. Year 2 will involve
consolidation of reform into the key steps necessary to
improve service performance, the application of technical
and analytical insights gained in Year 1, and the
preparation of plans for implementing on a larger scale the
service improvements that have been agreed.
