Reconstruction and Recovery Requirements
The recovery and reconstruction initiatives proposed in this chapter are aligned with the
overall priorities, plans and policies of the Royal Thai Government. Further consultations
at the community, district, provincial and central level are recommended, as well as taking
into account cross-cutting elements such as social and environmental sectors, in order to
set a strategy that holistically addresses the reconstruction needs of the country.
Response to the Floods
The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) and the Bank for Agriculture and
Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) rolled out a short- and medium-term plan to alleviate
pressure from agriculture related damage and losses 28 . Some of the main plans are listed
here.
