Question 1
Please briefly describe the initiative, what issue or challenge it aims to address and specify its objectives. (300 words maximum)
Challenging issue : the continuation of the drought and flooding disaster situation in the North - Eastern part of Thailand in every year.
Original context : the Kaokham Namyuen, Ubinratchnani province’s former problem is to face the drought disaster in every year during the dry season. As they are all farmers, the serious problem are such as no water supply, salty soil, low agricultural production, this is a very big challenging matters to the government section for a long time, all involved sectors haven’t had a good solution and procedures to overcome this fact.
New context : to achieve and develop the SGB innovation is having a learning center (SGBC) together with QP manual and research too enhance the drought - flooding disaster situation in the country. Having the knowledge dissemination, training and transfer the knowledge and continue the innovation to all families in the communities according to the culture of each community. To hold on to his majesty the king Rama 9th’s principles due to the proactive integration creating the corporation between the government and the community by signing MOU to the network associates which can solve the drought and flooding disaster situation.
Purpose of work : To solve the drought and flooding disaster situation in the community. To build the stability of food according to the sufficiency economic philosophy principles. The integration will build the good cooperation from the public, the self-reliance, the water quality improvement by nature methods increasing the water reservation such as the pools or nature water resources, develop the water management know how which will make enough water to use in all purpose in the whole year.
