Abstract

The objectives of this research were:

1) to completely search, verify, and survey the capital of the poor and households in local level of Surin province,
2) to design projects to help the poor by creating and implementing innovations to address poverty that are appropriate for the local context,
3) to develop a tracking system on information of the poor, a referral system for assistance, a coordinated referral system under the cooperation of the local development mechanism, and
4) to develop policy proposals or links to a development plan for solving poverty at the local level.

The research used Research & Development methodology. The data was collected by surveying and verifying the data of the poor households. It was aimed to 100% complete the data collection in the year 2021 in 3 districts namely Phanom Dong Rak district (4 Sub-districts), Chumphon Buri district (1 Sub-district), and Srinarong district (4 sub-districts). Data were analyzed by brainstorming sessions, identification of lessons learned, developing driving plans at the local level and the design of poverty alleviation models through participatory processes of network partners in poverty alleviation.

The results of the research were:
1) The survey to verify poor household data in 3 districts totaling 3,115 households was 100% complete in 2021 as planned. The households that were unable to survey because no residents were found or moved away or died or refused to provide information totaling 540 households, or 18.81%.
2) Developed a system for searching and verify the data, and surveying the capital of the poor at the local level by using a mechanism for developing “volunteers” to become “community information managers” totaling 117 people in 5 batches of 5 sub-districts, in Phanom Dong Rak district and Chumphon Buri district. 3) The poverty mitigation models were designed with local stakeholders by or-ganizing a forum for network partners to discuss together, small group meet-ing to develop an action model to solve poverty, household interview and the design thinking process and linked with local wisdom knowledge that was appropriate to the context of the target groups. Three models were de-signed, i.e. the Poverty Action Project or the Model to Solve the Poverty of 2 areas (Yawuk Sub-district, Chumphon Buri District, and Tamiang sub-district, Phanom Dong Rak District) and the Baan Tham Ruam Jai project for the homeless.
4) The poverty alleviation project or poverty alleviation model called “Buddha-Metta Organic Vegetable Garden” of Yawuk sub-district, Chumphon Buri dis-trict emphasis was placed on solving poverty problems through strengthen-ing the households and within the organic vegetable community enterprise group to combat the poverty of Yawuk community, while the poverty allevi-ation model called “Upgrading the seedling career with innovation” in Tami-ang sub-district, Phanom Dong Rak District focused on creating a process of learning a variety of seeds from village sages and thought leaders so that poor households of the Nong Khanna Tree Breeding Community Enterprise Group can grow seedlings and sell them to become a profitable occupation. As for the Baan Tham Ruam Jai project for the homeless, it was found that the target poor households received help to have a better quality of life in terms of housing, livelihood and health from the integration of the local network in Surin Province.
5) In 2021-2022, research projects have been linked to government mecha-nisms, civil society, Sangha and the private sector to pass on assistance to poor households under the Baan Tham Ruam Jai Project for the Homeless including forwarding information to Surin Provincial Social Development and Human Security Office (PSDHSO) and Surin Provincial Community Develop-ment Office (PCDO) and Phanom Dong Rak District.
6) Developed the second phase Poor Household database system of Surin Province by analyzing the design of Surin province Poor Household data-base information system to link data from the Good Community on New Path (Living on new pace) information system and the information system of poor households at the area level (ppp.connext) to develop a tracking system for poor households.
7) In the plan to drive poverty alleviation at the sub-district level it was found that (1) in Yawuk Sub-district, Chumphon Buri District and Tamiang sub-district, Phanom Dong Rak district should develop systems and mechanisms for solving problems, providing assistance, and sharing assistance with net-work partners, and (2) such areas should develop and strengthen five di-mensions of capital of poor households for sustainable livelihoods.
8) Recommendations: (1) Using Data managers is helpful in data review to con-firm the information of the local poor, and can initially reflect the problem of poverty. In order to achieve efficiency in work, it must be upgraded and pushed into the mechanism of the community or local agencies seriously. (2) Integration to help the poor should use the same database. Rather, in-formation needs to be reviewed and updated so that aid agencies are in line with their missions. (3) The dimension of helping the poor must em-phasize on the goal that the poor can ‘help themselves’ based on their own capital and potential. and (4) At the district level, there should be a plan to drive poverty alleviation, especially the systems and mechanisms for solving problems, helping, and referring assistance with network partners. In addition, there should be development and strengthening of capital in 5 dimensions, so that poor households can have a sustainable livelihood.
