Civic Participation in Local Governance: Thailand's Hill Tribe Women

This film focuses on an Asia Foundation project in Northern Thailand designed to reach Hill Tribe women with information about their constitutional rights as community members, and as minority women in Thai society.

In cooperation with the World Bank, The Asia Foundation staff and partner organizations designed the participatory training program, Civic Participation in Local Governance (CPLG), to provide the tools, skills, and encouragement needed for citizens and officials to cooperate in local planning and decisionmaking. The training program curriculum covers numerous topics including defining community rights, how to participate in the issuance of local ordinances, and how citizens can monitor their local administration. These and other topics in the curriculum are often entirely new to those who undergo the training, typically 35 to 40 local and elected officials, as well as civic leaders, and representatives of grassroots non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
