Building on the achievements of the previous project, the aim of the TA is to continue to develop a core group of development managers with the capacity to operate as motivated and competent change agents through training programs focusing mainly on middle- and senior-level executive management training at premier educational institutions in the region.

Thailand is the most urbanized country in the GMS, with just over half of the population living in towns and cities. Bangkok is the countryâs largest city, and an international hub for trade and travel. The countryâs 100+ special economic zones have helped drive employment and trade in many secondary towns and cities, including those in border areas near Cambodia, the Lao PDR, and Myanmar.
