This brief presents a critical review and analysis of soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks in Thailand and provides targeted recommendations to policymakers for addressing eventual policy gaps and strengthening implementation and monitoring of impact mechanisms. The analysis, supported by officers from relevant government agencies and institutions, evaluated these strategies and legislative frameworks based on their effectiveness in addressing key soil threats, as well as their implementation, monitoring and improvement. The assessment focused on the following key criteria: 1. Legislative frameworks: analysis of existing strategies and legislative frameworks and their effectiveness in addressing major soil threats. 2. Institutional arrangements: analysis of government bodies’ roles in formulating, implementing and monitoring soil strategies and frameworks, and their collaboration and information exchange mechanisms. 3. Implementation: evaluation of strategies and enforcement mechanisms for promoting, monitoring and assessing soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks. 4. Feedback system: assessment of processes for improving strategies and legislative frameworks based on outcomes and stakeholder feedback.
