THAILAND:

Suchada Kulawat offered the following comments on the annotated outline: the format should reflect clear, action-oriented proposals; the issues of the means of implementation should not be separated from the basis for action, objectives and recommendations; HIV/AIDS needs to be addressed more specifically in the document; the section on family planning should include reference to the promotion of male participation; and the 20-year goals should include reduction of infant mortality levels, universal access to family planning information and services, and universal access to primary and secondary level education. On the issue of money, the concept of global partnership in the area of population and development should go beyond aid and involve shared responsibilities at all levels. Follow-up should include institutional arrangements. Thailand also supports the full participation of NGOs.
