In this context, UNICEF Thailand consolidates an established role centered on four strands: generating and applying evidence to inform policy and programme design; advising on and helping mobilize public finance and domestic investment for children; providing technical support and policy advice to government partners on system design, delivery and quality; and advocating, in partnership with government, the private sector and civil society, for the rights of the most excluded children.
