MHESI Minister Prof. Dr.&nbsp;Anek&nbsp;Laothamatas&nbsp;stated that MHESI has formulated a workplan to employ research and innovation for target poverty alleviation. The plan is to establish \u201cPersonalized Poverty Alleviation\u201d (PPA) platform to build a system and mechanisms&nbsp;for all stakeholders to participate in the implementation process. The pilot project was launched in&nbsp;ten provinces with the lowest per capita income, namely Pattani, Amnat Charoen, Mae Hong Son, Chai Nat, Surin, Yasothon, Sisaket, Sakon Nakhon Mukdahan and&nbsp;Kalasin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image-7.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of people sitting at a table with a screen behind them\n\nDescription automatically generated with medium confidence\" class=\"wp-image-7021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image-7.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image-7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/image-7-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this plan, MHESI is working in collaboration with Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. The work includes 1) collecting data and identifying&nbsp;poor people, 2) employing participatory approach to engage government agencies, academic institutes, communities and industry in the&nbsp;design and&nbsp;implementation process, and 3) creating solutions specific to each individual target group by applying suitable knowledge, research and local wisdom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 8 months of the project, study teams were dispatched to perform field studies in ten provinces.&nbsp; Data and information are collected and analyzed to identify root causes&nbsp;of poverty. The data, as of 4 February 2021, revealed that poverty situation has worsened, with the number of poor households increasing from 75,873 to 89,710 and the number of poor&nbsp;people&nbsp;jumping from 131,040 to 334,153. The studies also uncovered skill gap of individual poor person&nbsp;which will be used to design skill development program according to the concept of personalized poverty alleviation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kitti Satjawattana, Director&nbsp;of&nbsp;Program Management Unit for Area-based Development&nbsp;(PMU-A) explained that the field studies would shed some light to the questions: Who are the poor?, Where are the&nbsp;poor?,&nbsp;Why are they poor? and How can they escape poverty?. The answers to those questions will&nbsp;help identify&nbsp;solutions applicable to the lower 20% and upper 20% of the poor population. A system will be designed&nbsp;to connect the individual to public assistance programs provided by provincial&nbsp;administrative&nbsp;agencies of Ministry of Social Development and Human Security or to&nbsp;aid&nbsp;programs run by private organizations. In 2021, ten more provinces will be added to the project, namely Buriram, Narathiwat,&nbsp;Ubon&nbsp;Ratchathani, Lampang,&nbsp;Phatthalung, Nakhon Ratchasima, Roi Et,&nbsp;Phitsanulok,&nbsp;Loei&nbsp;and&nbsp;Yala.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Inn [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/241916.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/author\/adminsti\/"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/241916.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7023,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7020\/revisions\/7023"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
