\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Economic and social inequalities, particularly among homeless populations in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), remain critical challenges to achieving social justice and sustainable development. Despite significant economic growth in the EEC, vulnerable groups such as the homeless continue to face barriers to accessing basic rights, including housing, healthcare, and a dignified livelihood. Civil society networks working with homeless populations in the area often face limitations in their capacity for data collection, evidence-based advocacy, and strategic coordination with other sectors. Strengthening the roles and capabilities of community leaders and civil society actors is therefore essential to effectively promote the health and well-being of homeless individuals. To address these needs, the Faculty of Political Science and Law, Burapha University, under the leadership of Asst. Prof. Dr. Sakrit Isariyanon, initiated the project “Development and Enhancement of Academic and Professional Networks to Reduce Inequalities and Promote Health Equity for Specific Population Groups.”\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The project aims to empower civil society leaders by enhancing their knowledge, practical skills, and networking capacities across the EEC region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This initiative is closely aligned with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 1: No Poverty<\/strong> SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The project aspires to build a collaborative and resilient civil society network capable of supporting homeless populations, fostering innovative health interventions, and contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society where no one is left behind.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
