Building on a number of studies, surveys and assessments conducted by the UN in Thailand and forms the core pillar of the UN’s Socio-economic Response, this report examines the severe socio-economic impact of the pandemic, analyses the implications for the SDGs, and outlines key policy directions to guide the recovery process. It aims to inform national response efforts through a comprehensive whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach

The Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of COVID-19 in Thailand was commissioned by the UN Country Team in Thailand and led by UNDP and UNICEF, in partnership with the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) and the Asian Development Bank.
