TBC pursues change leading to durable solutions while ensuring a protective environment for displaced people of Burma/Myanmar. Our work is centred on the provision of food, shelter, and capacity-building support for the camp residents. TBC also endeavours to increase self-reliance and reduce aid dependency by promoting and supporting livelihood opportunities.
As the political environment began to change and improve in Burma/ Myanmar beginning with the elections in 2010, the potential need for the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC) to be prepared to change its name was recognised. This became more important after being invited by the government to discuss the possibility of establishing a presence inside the country in September 2012. The choice of The Border Consortium (TBC) was pragmatic requiring only minor adjustments to the logo to ensure familiarity and continuity. The new name was approved by members at the Annual General Meeting held at the beginning of November 2012 and has been registered in the UK. It is now used for all legal purposes and the new name and logo is in use on all stationery, forms reports, signs etc.
TBC undertook a comprehensive recruitment process for a new TBC Executive Director in late 2012. This process resulted in the appointment of Sally Thompson, formerly Deputy Executive Director. Sally has worked with TBC for more than twenty years. She begins her new role, with a three month handover from Jack Dunford, in January 2013. This appointment ensures continuity of purpose and commitment as TBC moves forward. TBC now bids farewell to Jack after his 29 years of service to the refugee communities on the Thailands western border. His unwavering commitment to the rights of the refugees and the resolution of this protracted situation will remain embedded in TBCs philosophy.
