There are two parts of the budgets one is the regular budget of the BMA to be utilized for personnel and currently activities and the other source of budget derived from local agencies where it will be utilized for community driven activities to fit their needs. • Who played leading role? Officer in the BMA • Are these initiative sus- tainable? Yes, or no. It depends very much on the individual officers to their understanding and the system designed for the imple- mentations of the HCP. However, the current situation shows a ten- dency to the direction of promising for sustainability. • Lessons learned Project sustainability de- pends on the officers at the policy and management levels. If the system does not secure enough, with the changes of the high- ranking officer, the project is like- ly to be neglected. Therefore, a system for implementing HCP with community participation is vital and must be addressed as a high priority to be established. 3. linkages Intersectoral collaboration • list project activities that cross traditional sectoral boun- daries and are implemented in an integrated manner - Local community funds - Housing and congested area improvement - Prevention of drug ad- dictions - Unemployment - Traffic congestion • influence on local and national policies It has been very little. This is one of the weaknesses in im- plementing HCP in Thialnd • existence of structure for collaboration There is no formal struc- ture for collaboration between different agencies and the effective collaboration proved to be on the personal basis.

Networking is very limited in its activity and experience in Bangkok. • lessons learned Not much show the lessons to be learned. It must be developed so that networking can be an important tool for exchange of human resources or sharing of technical know how. 4.
