Consolidating and Expanding the Network through Mapping
Ever progressive, HomeNet Thailand was involved in a ‘mapping’ programme with HomeNet members in India, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia and Chile. The three-year programme was launched in February 2001 and a progress meeting was held in Bangkok in July of the same year.
The programme had the two-fold aim of carrying out action-research to support new organizations of homebased workers, at the same time building a common framework of information for advocacy and lobbying purposes centrally. In addition , we also launched the collection of data from our individual members in the regional networks in order to create the database of all members of the organization .
We are building on our existing network and new contacts in the south of Thailand. At the same time, we are consolidating the existing network to advance the membership -based organization. At present, Homenet Thailand has collected the profile of 3,902 homebased workers.
