The sustenance of these organizations  heavily relies on financial support from international and local donors, thereby impacting  their goals and objectives. Despite grappling with funding constraints and escalating  demand for assistance, NGOs have had to respond to the urgent needs of the most affected  populations, even if such activities may not always align seamlessly with their long-term  goals and plans. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth not only a public health crisis but also  significant economic concerns. Even before the pandemic, Thailand's economy was  experiencing annual contractions, and there are growing domestic and international  concerns about an impending economic recession. Historical evidence of previous crises  suggests that NGOs will undoubtedly bear the impact of the pandemic as well. This study aims to examine the implications of the pandemic on NGOs, encompassing both  its effects during the crisis and its aftermath. Through a comprehensive evaluation of  NGOs' initiatives to mitigate the COVID-19 impact in the Thai community and an analysis  of their collaborative efforts during this challenging period, the study seeks to foster a  deeper understanding of the overarching role played by NGOs in Thai society.  Additionally, the study explores the relationships between NGOs, potentially paving the  way for inter-NGO collaboration. Furthermore, the study aims to assess the key  differentiators in the activities of NGOs and their related endeavors during the COVID-19  pandemic. 0aNon-governmental organizationszThailand 0aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-xEconomic aspectszThailand1 aAhmad, Mokbul Morshed,eChairperson1 aKusakabe, Kyoko,eExamination Committee0 aThi, Phuoc Lai Nguyen,eExamination Committee2 aRTG Fellowships,eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
