Role of the GEF • Demonstrating the application of the principles of the Sufficiency Economy in the field of environmental management (GEF funds serving as “seed” money); and • Assisting Thailand to disseminate lessons to other developing countries faced with similarly inappropriate development paths

  7. Process • Invitation to submit project concepts • Circulated to concerned agencies and Convention Focal Points for comments • Sent to GEF agency, based on comparative advantage, for comments of conformity with country programme • Meeting of International Affairs Committee to prepare recommendation
