Phuket has been selected nationally as one of the pilot areas to use and develop the SoSafe platform as part of the Traffy Fondue Digital Innovation Group for Cities app. As part of this, the ‘Life Cycle Digital Platform’ will see in-depth data from subjects captured, analysed and shared with the UNFPA.
The UNFPA is a UN agency aimed at improving reproductive and maternal health worldwide.
Yesterday’s meeting at Provincial Hall was chaired by Phuket Vice Governor Narasak Suksomboon. Representing UNFPA Thailand was lead project consultant Pannin Sumanasetkul, while officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security also joined the call.
Mr Pannin explained that the data captured via the Life Cycle Digital Platform prototype project will provide invaluable insight and help continue efforts to improve human development and target sexual violence and abuse.
He further explained that based on the results of data collected previously it was found that it was necessary to expand the results to include other social issues in reporting incidents via the SoSafe platform, which is why yesterday’s call with UNFPA Thailand took place.
The official report of the meeting by PR Phuket, however, made no mention of the specifics in relation to how a vulnerable subject can submit a case via the Traffy Fondue app.
