The project entitled, "4 ASEAN NIs and ESCR Enhancement via People's Engagement and Empowerment through Rights-based Activities (ESCR-PEER)," is spearheaded by the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand.

The project aims to reinforce the learning processes linking human rights values and experiences to internal value and legal system. It also assists in building knowledge and capacity developmental processes for national institution's officials to improve their performance in association with political, economical and social situation in national and international levels. The 4 objectives are as the follows:

1. To promote the concept of participatory processes focusing on ESC Rights in the pilot area along the Andaman coast. These provinces are facing the economic, social and cultural changes caused by Governments' developmental policies (man-made disaster) and natural disasters such as Tsunami.
2. To organize workshops and review lessons learned from experiences of "Networking the ESCR CBOs and CSOs" including link the related implementation to the existing mechanisms such as the 2008 Civil Society Council Act.
3. To upgrade the quality of local activities and find the appropriate methods to peacefully solving conflicts by balancing the concepts of economic growth and human rights including encourage the Government and other related sectors to apply human rights standard into their regular work.
4. To improve related skills and attitude of NHRCT's staff members including those of NIs from 3 countries.
