SWOT Analysis

43 12/07/21
 Strengths
44

• Active leader (Chief Administrator of TAO)* and TAO executive members

and assembly

• Community participation in preparing a Tambon Development Plan

• Local revenue generation collected by TAO to support its own operation

• Application of information technology (GIS land tax map) to collect

effective land tax

• Development projects launched by TAO

________________________________________
* Due to the active leadership and good governance administration, the chief
Administrator of TAO got good governance award from the Prime Minister
Abhisit Vejjajiva

12/07/21
 Cont..
45

 Good coordination between TAO and sectoral agencies(health,

education and agriculture) in the area

 Integration of national policies with local development policies

 Mobilizing various sources of funding support to TAO projects from

both provincial Administrative Organization (PAO) and local
administration

12/07/21
 Weakness
46

 Limited revenue generation amount and sources to support

development projects and other activities

 Heavily financial dependence on central administration

 Transferred development functions from central to local administration

but still limited capacity and resources at TAO particularly on energy
and environment issues

 Limited people’s participation of local community in meetings of

people due to their engagement in livelihood earning

12/07/21
 Opportunities
47

 Availabilities of various funding sources and technical support from

various line agencies, provincial administration and Provincial
Administrative Organization (PAO) to TAO

 Capacity building (training & on-job learning) provided by higher levels

of administration to TAO staffs

 Continuation of central government to have strong support in the

decentralization policy to TAO

12/07/21
 Threats
48

 Limited finance from self revenue generation.

 Transfer of more development functions and responsibilities to local

level (Tambon) without adequate local fiscal policy support

12/07/21
 Recommendations
49

 TAO should concentrate more on self revenue generation thus to

reduce dependence on centre’s funding

 They should build capacity and resources as well as adapt and work on
the new technology especially for energy and environment issues.

 Should organize evening and/or weekend meetings to increase

people’s participation

12/07/21
 Probable Measures
50

 Establishment of OTOP like artificial flowering to generate

more revenue.
 Promote integrated farming approach.
 Reduce monoculture practices and switch to other crops .
 Promote occupational groups like for candle making,
mushroom culture , Thongmuan dessert to generate more
income
 Promote agro tourism (like Wasana melon farm we visited)

12/07/21
 Lessons learned
51

Development plans are made at the local level

Capacity building of the elected members
Prominent role played by the women folks
Effective use of ICT and GIS at Tambon level

12/07/21
 Conclusion
52

Overall there is a effective governance

Plans formulated on the basis of need of the local
people
• Three -year plan is good approach for holistic
development
• Potential for establishing more occupational groups
as an OTOP
