3 “STRONG PROJECT’S FIELDWORKS”
According to Section 63 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2560 (2017), the Thai government is obliged to raise awareness and educate people on the threats that come with corruption and malfeasance.
The government must also lay down effective and sufficient measures to prevent and eliminate those malpractices, as well as create a zero-tolerance-toward-corruption culture with a mechanism enabling the public to unite against corruption in all parts of society.
Since 2018, the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (ONACC), through the Bureau of Anti-Corruption Enhancement and Integrated Participation, has been implementing the STRONG project against corruption (aka STRONG), with the main purpose to foster a community immune to corruption.
