The goal of project, “Generating Community Income, Making People Happy,” is a collaborative effort that embraces the current monarch’s policy of “Continue, Sustain, and Develop” His Majesty the Late King Rama IX’s Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP), and which applies a framework of “Understanding, Accessing, and Developing,” in accordance with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), to improve income-generating opportunities for local communities.

The project enhances collaboration among five sectors – the public sector, the private sector, the academic sector, the civil society sector, and the people – and follows policies that are consistent with SEP by taking into consideration local conditions and upholding good values as operating principles. The important strategies and action plans follow one goal under three categories and five processes, and are disseminated to 76 provinces across the country.
