Country Office

The key influence in the ACIAR Thailand country program continues to be the transition of Thailand. As Thailand's own economic and research capacities continue to increase, the relationship will be less aid-driven and more of a co-investment partnership involving a wider spread of Australian agencies.

ACIAR's medium-term strategy will focus on three issues: implementation of the results of earlier projects, with relevance to the poorest farming communities; scientific and policy exchanges on biosecurity systems implementation; and research to build onto joint endeavours to reduce and eliminate international agricultural protection and subsidisation. ACIAR will work closely with Thai partners to assess the potential for joint funding on agreed projects.

Opportunities for regional partnering with Thailand will be explored, particularly with respect to Laos.
