Thammasat University, by Centre for SDG Research and Support (SDG Move), Faculty of Economics, Thammasat University, collaborated with International Health Policy Program Foundation (IHPP Foundation) in conducting a series of SDG research and a development of SDG educational resources, namely, SDG Watch project and SDG port-TH website in 2020 – 2021.
The research collaboration includes the following research topics:
- SDG Stakeholder Action Reports: This is a series of four research reports focusing on studying the status of SDG implementation and enabling environment for youth, volunteering organizations, civil society organizations, and academic organizations, and identifying the gaps and proposing policy recommendations to encourage more multi-stakeholder approach to the SDG implementation.
- SDG implementation and monitoring system: This research aims to develop a system framework to understand components of SDG implementation system and their relationship and use the framework to examine the SDG implementation system in Thailand at national level as well as for stakeholders whose works focus on SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing.
The education resources developed by this collaboration include the following projects:
- SDG watch project: This project aims at curating knowledge and information related to SDG situations status and implementation both at national and global levels. It also aims to be a knowledge sharing platform in which scholars from different disciplines whose works are connected to SDG topics write articles and share their ideas. There are three types of content, namely, SDG news, SDG updates, and SDG insights. SDG news is a 500-word article that reports the current situations and news related to SDG topics. SDG updates is an 1500-word article summarizing international and national reports. SDG insight is a 3000-word article written by experts to share their insights in a specific topic. Later this year, SDG watch also created a podcast channel on podcast platforms (such as Youtube, Soudcloud, and Spotify).
