Thailand’s government has pushed through legislation to support social enterprises drive the country’s economic and social progress, but more needs to be done as gaps between investors’ position and government agenda remain.
Access to funding and a lack of public understanding of their impact are major obstacles for social enterprises in Thailand, despite government efforts to support the sector, a new study reveals.
The research,
The State of Social Enterprise in Thailand, commissioned by the British Council and UNESCAP and conducted by the Social Enterprise Thailand Association and the Thailand Development Research Institute with support from Social Enterprise UK, is based on a survey of 146 Thai social enterprises and interviews with government agencies, universities, intermediaries and other organisations representing social enterprises in Thailand.
