1. Background

EU Thailand COVID-19 Response and Recovery-Three Southern Border Provinces is a programme sponsored by the European Union (EU). The overall objective of the proposed action that will be implemented in three provinces of the Deep South (Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani) for 24 months is to increase the participation of Thai CSOs in preventing, addressing and mitigating risks and vulnerabilities in the fragile context of COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand.

The action implemented in partnership with the Prince of Songkhla University (PSU), Prince of Songkhla University Alumni Association of Volunteers (PSUAAV) and led by Save the Children (SC) in collaboration with 4 local sub-grantees namely The Looker, Narathiwat Civil Society Association (NACA), Nusantara Foundation for Human Rights and Development (NUSANTARA), and Network of Women Against Violence in Southern Thailand (N-WAVE). The specific objective is to strengthen capacity and engagement of CSOs to mitigate health, social and economic impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and building resilience for the most vulnerable target groups in the Deep South. Three main components of the project are:

• Outcome 1:  Improved ability for the most vulnerable households in target communities to cope with the COVID-19 outbreak through communications and supplementary relief kits. Activities that contributing to increase CSOs capacity are a) distributing relief support for affected and vulnerable communities and b) online communication and awareness campaigns led by 8 youth groups.
• Outcome 2: The most vulnerable youth, women and migrant workers in Thailand’s Deep South access social and economic recovery opportunities. Activities under this outcome will focus on increasing civil society's engagement in addressing broader social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 crisis for the most vulnerable target groups, supporting and building capacities for sustainable livelihoods.
• Outcome 3: Establish role-model resilient communities to advocate establishment of province-based preparedness standard. Activities under this outcome will include PSUAAV empowering local community representatives of 6 target communities to assess outbreak-related hazards, their capacity to respond and their community’s vulnerability to the outbreak to strengthen local risk reduction protocols to build resilience of communities to face future health outbreaks, shocks and crisis.

Project areas in Southern Border Provinces targeting youth, women and migrant workers in Thailand's Deep South access social and economic recovery, the most vulnerable target groups include youth and migrant workers age 15 to 30 years old with a focus on vulnerable women and adolescent girls returning from Malaysia, who have lost their livelihood due to effects of COVID-19.
