TICA : Thailand International Cooperation
Agency
is a national focal point for Thailand’s international development
cooperation. TICA was established in 2004 to realize Thailand’s aspiration to
be a contributor of development cooperation. Believing that global challenges
are best addressed by international cooperation and global partnership, today
we continue to strengthen our contribution to achieve global development agenda
through various capacity-building and human resources development programmes.
In response to the recent changes in the global landscape of development
cooperation, especially through the concept of South-South and Triangular
Cooperation, TICA continues to realign our focuses in order to deliver Thailand’s
commitment to be a relevant partner in global agendas including the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development.
ASEAN Institute for Health
Development (AIHD), Mahidol University
ASEAN Institute for Health Development (AIHD),
Mahidol University was established in 1982 as the ASEAN Training Centre for
Primary Health Care Development. It was a joint effort of Mahidol University,
the Ministry of Public Health and the Department of Technical and Economic
Cooperation (DTEC, now TICA) of the Royal Thai Government, with strong support
from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). AIHD’s work bases on a
forward-looking and conceptually challenging perspective on human resource
development which aims at supporting global strategy of “Health for All” through
the primary health care approach as advocated by WHO.
AITC : Annual International Training Course
was initiated in 1991 as a framework in providing short-term
training for developing partners. Today, the AITC remains one of TICA’s
flagship programmes. It offers not only a training experience, but also a
platform in exchanging ideas and establishing professional network among
participants from across the developing world. Aiming at sharing Thailand’s
best practices and experience to the world, the AITC training courses focus on
development topics of our expertise currently categorized under five themes
namely; “Sufficiency
Economy Philosophy” or SEP, Food Security, Public Health, Climate
Change, and Other topics related to
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
AITC Theme : Public Health
This training course falls under the AITC
theme – “Public Health”. We believe that health is a very important component
for economic and social development, national security, regional and global
stability. In the post 2015 context, health has been increasingly recognized as
a key contributor in development as good health is one of the fundamental
building blocks of society and sustainable development. From improved quality
to inclusive healthcare system, Thailand has been sharing our experience and
lesson-learned with developing partners on the road to achieve health-related
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
