“Looking ahead, we have a new five-year plan, and a great number of
responsibilities of national importance before us. We must work together in order
to build an extraordinary, strong, secure, and peaceful future for Bhutan.”
His Majesty The Druk Gyalpo
111th National Day, Samtse, 17th December, 2018

PRIME MINISTER 2nd February, 2019
FOREWARD
The 12th Five Year Plan (FYP) commences amid numerous auspicious occasions that hold special
significance for all Bhutanese. Our Nation celebrated the 12th year of glorious reign of His Majesty
The Druk Gyalpo and 111 years of the institution of Monarchy and nation building. The nation
continues to enjoy the blessings of Yabjey-Damba, His Majesty The Fourth Druk Gyalpo. It
witnessed the 22nd year of tireless service by His Holiness the 70th Je Khenpo for the wellbeing
of the country and its people. The Nation’s Son, His Royal Highness The Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel
Wangchuck continues to be a source of unbounded joy for all Bhutanese citizens. The Third
Parliamentary election was successfully held with increased people’s participation in the electoral
process. That the Election Commission of Bhutan and Bhutan Broadcasting Service were
conferred well-deserved high awards by His Majesty The Druk Gyalpo reflects their eminent role
in the success of the elections. In addition, Bhutan will be graduating from the list of Least Developed Countries (LDC) by 2023.
Meeting the eligibility criteria for graduation is a testament of the hard work of the people of
Bhutan with the support of key development partners. Even though Bhutan has fulfilled the two
required indicators for graduation, the fact that we are yet to cross the threshold for economic
vulnerability is a source of concern. It is a reminder of the work that remains to address the last
mile challenge of development and ensure continued progress towards creating an inclusive and
prosperous Gross National Happiness (GNH) state. The 12th FYP will be Bhutan’s last five year
plan as an LDC. At this critical stage in our development history, Bhutan looks to the
continued support of all its development partners to implement the 12th FYP. It is also a call to
all public servants, the private sector, civil society organisations and citizens to work together to
achieve the noble aspirations of the 12th FYP and live up to the trust bestowed on each one of us
by His Majesty The Druk Gyalpo.
With the objective of Just, Harmonious and Sustainable Society through enhanced
Decentralisation, the 12th FYP and its 17 national key result areas are drawn from the timeless
vision and wisdom emanating from the Golden Throne. Reflecting Bhutan’s status as an active
member of the global community, it also takes into consideration the Sustainable Development
Goals and other regional and international commitments. The Plan has been shaped by extensive
consultations held over a period of two years with wide ranging groups of stakeholders. The
outcome is a 12th FYP that is a National Development Plan reflecting the aspirations and concerns
of the people of Bhutan. Pledges of elected Government as well as selected pledges of the other
three political parties have been incorporated into the Plan following rigorous assessment. Lessons
learnt from 11th FYP have also proved useful in changing how we plan and implement better.
vi
The 12th FYP formulation, execution and implementation are underpinned by the principles of
coordination, consolidation and collaboration to achieve greater gains. True to the objective
of enhancing decentralisation, resources have been doubled for LGs in the 12th FYP
compared to 11th FYP resulting in an equal share of capital resources as the Central
Agencies. The Division of Responsibilities Framework has also been revised to provide greater
decentralisation of roles, functions and authority to the local governments. Another new
feature of the 12th FYP is the Government’s flagship programmes that aims to address issues
of national priority. The programme areas have been chosen to ensure that critical issues such as
youth unemployment, water security and poverty reduction are addressed in a coherent manner
within a five year period.
Unlike past plan periods, the 12th FYP period commences from 1st November, 2018 and will
end on 31st October, 2023 in order to align with the Government’s tenure. Implementation
will be rigorously monitored through the government performance management system to ensure
that results are achieved. Progress will be reviewed during the annual and mid-term reviews to
ensure that corrective measures and mid-course corrections are made in a timely manner.
The 12th FYP is unprecedented both in size and scope and will demand utmost dedication on the
part of the over 54,000 public servants across the country. It sets out an ambitious agenda and will
be the biggest plan implemented thus far with an outlay of Nu. 310 billion, an increase of nearly
38 percent over the 11th FYP. An inclusive plan has been formulated, adequate resources
mobilised with qualified public servants to implement the activities. All required causes and
conditions are in place to ensure that what has been planned can be delivered. I take this
opportunity to call upon all Bhutanese as well as our development partners, civil society
organisations, political parties, private sector and other stakeholders to work together to build a
strong, secure and peaceful future for our nation.
TASHI DELEK.

Figure 1: Allocation based on RAF criteria and weightage for Thromde
1. Population is the first criteria used for resource allocation for Thromde ‘A’s, and is measured
by two sub-criteria; 1. Number of resident populations, and 2. Population density. The grant
allocated under sub-criteria 1 and 2 for Thimphu Thromde are Nu.720.04 million and
Nu.242.55 respectively.
Under sub-criteria 1, larger the number of resident populations in the Thromde, more resource
is allocated. Allocation of grant under this sub-criterion offers the best possible equal per
capita resource allocation, in an objective and transparent manner, which correlates to
developmental issues and needs faced by the resident population. The grant is allocated to
encourage and direct Thromdes to invest in priority interventions to develop and improve urban

infrastructure, amenities and facilities, which are also disaster-resilient. It is also to improve
quality, speed and effectiveness of public service delivery and addressing citizens’ grievances,
encourage industries, reduce urban poverty, create urban employment, and make urban
settlements clean, beautiful and livable.
Sub-criteria 2 is unique and is calculated as ‘inverse of population density’, whereby Thromdes
with higher population density receive lesser resource. The rationale behind this being that,
generally the cost of providing utility services declines as population density increases due to
economies of scale. For example, denser settlements which is due to human settlement in every
available space in the Thromde, has the potential for large scale production and low-cost
distribution thereby bringing about greater economies of scale. Infrastructure is spread over
shorter distances per unit of output, thereby requiring lower maintenance costs and preventing
loss of resources (such as water and electricity) as well as lowering both unit production and
distribution costs. Grant allocation under this sub-criterion is to encourage and direct the
Thromdes to invest in achieving inclusivity, connectedness and cost-effective provision of
infrastructure, facilities and utility services benefiting majority of the urban population.
2. GNH index which reflects the level of happiness and general wellbeing of the urban population
from the lens of nine domain is the second criteria used for resource allocation for Thromde
‘A’s. The grant allocation under GNH Index for Thimphu Thromde is Nu.209.57 million.
Inverse of GNH Index is used for resource allocation, whereby less happier Thromdes receive
more resource.
The grant is allocated to encourage and direct Thromde to invest in priority interventions to
enhance conducive conditions and provide holistic development support to improve well-being
and happiness of the people. Focus will particularly be on less happy people such as women,
widowed, divorced or separated people, less educated, unemployed people especially youth
and disabled, and in improving psychological well-being (anger, frustration, spirituality),
community vitality (belonging), and cultural diversity (Driglam Namzha), which have suffered
significant reduction in sufficiency in the Thromde. Provision of awareness, education,
innovative activities and other urban support like child-care creches, ECCDs, non-formal
education, etc. are priorities requiring attention.
10
3. Health is the third criteria for resource allocation and is measured by two sub-criteria namely;
1. Number of households without access to reliable water for drinking, washing and cooking,
and 2. Number of households without access to improved sanitation facilities, in the Thromde
area.
The grant allocation under sub-criteria 1 for Thimphu Thromde is Nu. 1332.36 million, which
is the highest allocation compared to other sub-criteria, reflecting severity of drinking water
issues in Thromde. Grant allocation under sub-criteria 2 is Nu. 659.11 million, which is to
encourage and direct Thromde to invest in priority interventions to provide 24x7 safe drinking
water for all within 12 FYP, reliable water for washing and sanitation, and quality drainage,
sewerage and waste management system.
Thromdes experiencing more unreliable water supply and more unhygienic sanitation will
receive more resource.
4. Education is the fourth criteria for Thromde resource allocation and is measured by sub-
criteria, Students’ Performance in class X in BCSE’. The grants allocation under this sub-
criterion for Thimphu Thromde is Nu.370.52 million. The inverse of education criteria is used,
which means more resource is allocated to Thromdes with lower students’ performance.
The grant is allocated to encourage and direct Thromde to invest in priority interventions to
enhance and achieve education access and quality, professional development of teachers,
improve school infrastructure and services particularly required toilet ratio for boys and girls,
promote school agriculture, enhance student’s performance, learning outcomes, and prepare
students for job market. Focus will also be given to support out-of-school children in the
Thromde to ensure their school attendance and completion.
5. Culture is the fifth criteria used for resource allocation and is measured by sub-criteria:
Average number of days of participation in socio-cultural activities in the Thromde, and grant
allocation for Thimphu Thromde under this criterion is Nu. 153.11 million. The inverse of
criteria is used, which means more resource is allocated to Thromdes with lower average
number of days of participation in social-cultural activities.
11
Cultural preservation, promotion and participation by people in cultural activities are important
aspects of our unique identity and social fabric influencing community vitality. The grant is
allocated to encourage and direct Thromde to invest in priority interventions, especially
preservation and promotion of any intangible culture and tradition in the Thromde. Cultural
practices, traditions and values that may get diluted or lost need to be preserved and promoted
through documentation, awareness and education on folk songs and stories, dances and local
festivals, our unique identity and features of settlements, and social, family and neighbor
cohesion. Important interventions would also be to improve psychological well-being
(spirituality), community vitality (belonging) and cultural diversity (Driglam Namzha), which
have suffered significant reduction in sufficiency so far in the Thromdes. Volunteerism,
participation in socio-environment, cultural activities and programs will also be promoted to
foster a healthy, responsible and vibrant community.
6. Environment is the sixth criteria used for resource allocation, and is measured by two sub-
criteria, namely: 1. Number of people affected by inadequate waste disposal sites or littering
in the Thromde, and 2. Number of people discontented with air pollution in the Thromde. The
grant allocation under sub-criteria 1 and 2 for Thimphu Thromde is Nu. 198.73 million and
Nu.397.17 million respectively. Higher the number of people affected by waste and litter and
higher the number of people discontented with air pollution, higher the resource allocation to
Thromdes.
An increase in population and urbanization in Thromde brings about increase in construction
activities, number of vehicles, waste generation and pollution of air, land and water. The grant
is allocated to encourage and direct Thromde to invest in priority interventions to institute
proper waste disposal and management system. In particular it will promote waste segregation,
reduction, reusing, recycling, eco-friendly construction and make towns and settlements green,
clean and beautiful through awareness and education.
7. Safety is the seventh and last criteria for Thromdes’ resource allocation, and is measured by
two sub-criteria, namely: 1. Number of people discontented with crime and violence in
Thromde; and 2. Congestion (Number of cars per population) in Thromde. The grants
allocation under sub-criteria 1 and 2 for Thimphu Thromde is Nu.198.47 million and Nu.154.81
12
million respectively. Thromdes receive more resource allocation for more urban crime and
violence, and more numbers of cars per population.
As the population grows and modernizes, and urbanization sets in the Thromdes, there are
increasing social, economic and livability problems. The grant is allocated to encourage and
direct Thromde to invest in priority interventions to develop and improve community
infrastructure, recreational and entertainment facilities, and conduct educational activities and
volunteerism to reduce and deter crime and violence. Focus will also be need to place on
promoting and developing efficient and good public transport system, managing traffic and car
congestion, designating appropriate vehicle parking spaces, and roads, pedestrian and bi-
cycling trails.

9.1 Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Employment generation and Local Economy enhancement program,
Objective: To enhance local economy and create gainful employment
Collaborating Agency/ies: MoEA/MoLHR/MoAF/MoF/MoIC/TCB
Programmme Strategies:
The Labour Force Survey 2016 recorded urban areas in Bhutan with higher proportion of the
population (aged 15-64 years) as compared to rural areas. Thimphu Thromde has 41.8 percent of
the total national urban population. Unemployment is one of the most important cross-cutting
issues faced by the Thromde currently, with 3,229 (PHCB-2017) unemployed people residing in
Thimphu Thromde alone. Thromde has a big and shared-responsibility in facilitating jobs creation,
in order to enhance local economy and resolving the issue of unemployment.
Given the issues, potential and opportunities of economic growth, job creation and income
generation, Thromde will:
1. Form Thromde Business/Economic Development Committee with representatives from
Thromde, Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), Ministry of Labor and
Human Resources (MoLHR), Regional Immigration office, Regional Trade office,
Regional Revenue and Customs office and business community and other relevant
stakeholders. The committee shall:
a. Prepare local economic growth and job creation strategy and plan.
b. Facilitate and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to seek information on number of
new job seekers in addition to the current number of unemployed.
c. Study background information of job seekers such as skills and qualification that they
possess, age, gender, their area of interests and any business ideas and plans that they
may have.
d. Accordingly, job seekers will be trained in relevant entrepreneurship skills in the
12FYP in collaboration with MoLHR and BCCI. Furthermore, job seekers with viable
business ideas will be mentored and supported and facilitated for funds. Trainings on
self-employment through entrepreneurship will be provided.
2. Prepare Local Area Plans (LAP) for development by providing basic municipal services
and facilities such as road, water, waste management services, waste water management to
15
encourage landowners and investors in developing CSMIs: manufacturing and service
sectors.
3. Thromde will generate revenue once the CSMIs are functional and help in achieving
Thromde self-sustainability.
4. Explore new revenue sources and outsource municipal services (waste, parking fee, public
toilet maintenance) in order to create jobs for Bhutanese workers.
5. Initiate development of tourism infrastructure and other facilities within the thromde
jurisdiction.

10.1Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Programme for enhancing livability, safety and sustainability of human
settlements.
Objective: To improve livability, safety and sustainability of human settlements
Collaborating Agency/ies: MoWHS/Private/Business Community/Bhutan Post
Programme Strategies:
Thromde is facing a lot of challenges in keeping the city clean and green. Currently, Thromde
generates solid waste of 40 MT (2017) per day, witnessing an increase of 4 MT from 2010 to
2017. Increasing number of improper dumping of waste is a major challenge faced by the
Thromde. This will be addressed through the following:
1. Introducing waste segregation at source (Bio-degradable and Non-degradable) through
awareness programmes.
2. Outsourcing waste management and upgrading and activating scrap dealers and initiating
various composting mechanisms and waste drop off centers.
3. Instituting a system of cleaning one’s own surrounding once a week, through close
collaboration and monitoring by respective Demkhong Tshogpas and Building Inspectors
(Private and Government Buildings).
4. Monitoring of illegal dumping of waste by installing CCTV cameras.
Thimphu region alone has 31,218 vehicles (2017), a growth from 24,578 vehicles in 2013 (RSTA).
This has resulted in emerging issues of traffic congestion, while at the same time public transport
ridership is only 12 percent. In order to address this, the Thromde will:
i. In collaboration with Bhutan Post and City Bus Service providers train city-bus drivers
and conductors on improving professionalism/right attitude and monitor their
performance.
ii. Collaborate with Bhutan Postal Corporation and make public transport (city bus) service
attractive and reliable and carry out initiatives to increase public transport ridership and
discourage private vehicle usage.
iii. Develop maps, signs and information boards on the public transport systems.
iv. Construct additional multi-storied parking to ease traffic congestion.
23
v. Install traffic signage and zebra crossing and introduce pothole policing and reporting
mechanisms in every constituency
Thromde has met 57 percent of their recurrent expenditure from internal revenue. In order to
increase annual revenue, Thromde will:
i. Develop service centers and encourage setting up of CSMIs. Institute minimum fees
collection from these CSMIs and businesses once these are functional and fully
operational.
ii. Provide hand holding support (fast-track clearances and approvals) and facilitate
training to aspiring and potential entrepreneurs.
iii. Identify parking spaces and introduce parking fees in extended Thromde areas

11.1Programme Summary and Strategies
Program title: Transparent, effective and efficient public service delivery
Objective: To provide transparent, effective and efficient public services
Collaborating Agency/ies: Gewogs/MoHCA, DLG
Programme Strategies:
The GNH Survey 2015 pointed out that people’s perception on government’s performance has
declined significantly, mainly in terms of reducing the gap between rich and poor, creating
jobs and fighting corruption
While government has come up with over 200 G2C services, people still resort to traditional
practice of filling up papers and formalities due to limited awareness on the availability of
services through online platforms. Furthermore, there are just over 10-15 G2C services
available at Thromde level, thus calling forth to increase the number of services delivered
through online avenues. This will not only reduce turn-around-time but will also benefit
citizens availing the public services.
Against this back drop, Government Performance Management System (GPMS) is initiated by
government to hold agencies accountable. The whole-of-government approach system is being
implemented to strengthen planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation at various
levels of government. In the 12th FYP, focus will be on strengthening initiatives that will
enhance decentralization; taking efficient and effective public services delivery closer to the
people. There will also be an increased focus on reducing corruption, and increasing
responsibility and accountability in the local governments. Collaborative strategies will also
be adopted to enhance electricity and mobile coverage and its reliability.
The Thromde in the 12FYP will focus on:
a. Periodic renewal of ISO90021:2015 certification for Quality Management System
(QMS). The scope of QMS will be increased by adding all municipal services for
certification and certification in turn will take care of service delivery standards,
standard operating procedure and turn-around-time for most commonly availed
municipal services.
b. Construct City Hall and deliver all public services from one location efficiently
33
c. Develop and mainstream grievance redressal mechanism through increased
involvement and engagement of residents. The redressal systems will use both
office based and technology based systems for complaint registration and follow
up (IT or mobile technology).
d. Focus will be given to improve and strengthen capacity and professionalism of the
frontline service provider in the customer service division and other staffs under
the administrations.
e. Conduct awareness and advocacy on availability of online public services through
G2C and other municipal services which can be availed manually. Priority shall be
given to making all manual services available through online platforms.
f. Explore and develop mobile apps to deliver basic municipal services like paying of
water bills, sewerage charges, and etc. Encourage the use of mobile apps and
mobile phones in discharging and sharing real time information such as getting
directions on parking availability, waste disposal, road blocks and traffic diversion,
city social/entertainment events, free wi-fi locations, etc. for transparent, efficient
and effective service delivery.

13.1Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Quality Health enhancement
Objective: To improve community health and water security
Collaborating Agency/ies: MoH/MoWHS
Programme Strategies
According to GNH Survey 2015, 2.46 percent of the population suffer from severe psychological
distress and about 8.99 percent of population suffer from some form of distress which mainly leads
to suicides and alcoholism. The Thromde will plan and implement the Suicide Prevention Action
Plan, particularly responsibilities assigned to the Thromde. The Thromde’s Suicide Prevention
Response Team (DSPRT), with technical support from relevant central agencies, will plan and
implement suicide prevention awareness and interventions action plan in the Thromde, as well as
identify causes driving people to commit suicide.
Similarly, Thromde with support from health committee will address the issue of incidences of
alcohol deaths through implementation of the National Policy and Strategic Framework to Reduce
Harmful Use of Alcohol (2015-2020), particularly responsibilities assigned to the Thromde, such
as formation of Alcohol Harm Reduction Committee at Thromde level. Accordingly, public
education and awareness on alcohol policies and harmful use of alcohol will be taken up in
collaboration with community health workers and religious figures, targeting both sellers and
consumers.
Currently, only 80 percent of commercial entities and 30 percent of households have access to
safe, clean and reliable drinking water (24x7). With increase in housing construction in the
thromde area, more people are expected to reside within the Thromde, thus there will be increased
demand for provision of safe and clean drinking water to every household within the Thromde
vicinity. In order to provide 24x7, clean and safe drinking water, Thromde will:
Construct additional reservoirs and ensure that every building is provided with municipal
water connections ensuring reliable water supply and wherever necessary storage tanks are
installed by all households.
Ensure strict monitoring on water breakdowns, leakages, illegal tapping, and initiate
digitization of water networks to monitor water supply
48
Promote user responsibility on water management through awareness and formation of
Water User Association in every constituency.
Procure adequate water tankers to supply water during emergencies, should there be
problem with the main supply line.

14.1 Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Programme to develop culture and tradition
Objective: To promote and preserve culture and traditions
Collaborating Agency/ies: MoHCA/DDC/ Dratshang Lhentshog
Programme Strategies:
As per the GNH Survey Report, 2015, the proportion of urban people who consider themselves
‘very’ spiritual has declined substantially from 50.4 percent to 44.5 percent. People only spent an
average number of 9.7 days on social and cultural activities. The percentage of people who opined
that Driglam Namzha is ‘getting weaker’ increased from 19.7% in 2010 to 38.9% in 2015. People’s
perception on the decline in government performance in preserving and promoting intangible
culture had also worsened considerably in 2015 as compared to 2010. The GNH Survey 2015 also
reported a very low score of 7.12 in historical knowledge. Against this backdrop, the programme
on culture and tradition is aimed to explore means and ways to preserve, promote and document
our culture and tradition, indigenous knowledge, arts and crafts, and etc.
In addition to the conventional strategies to preserve and promote culture, Thromde will
particularly promote intangible culture through the following:
i. Conduct constituency wise Boedra and Zhungdra competition to promote traditional
songs and dances
ii. Conduct and promote community cleaning campaigns to foster community vitality
Thromde will promote Driglam Namzha and Dzongkha by;
a. Creating community training of trainers on Driglam Namzha for mass community
sensitization.
b. Providing mass education and awareness on Driglam Namzha to the community
especially during public and community meetings and gatherings
c. Training all Thromde staff in Driglam Namzha.
d. Training relevant Thromde staff on Dzongkha Unicode
e. Installing sign-boards written in Dzongkha.

15.1 Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Carbon neutral, climate and disaster resilient development
Objective: To strengthen Carbon neutral, climate and disaster resilient development
Collaborating Agency/ies: Gewogs/NEC/MoAF
Programme Strategies
Climate change and disaster has been a cross cutting issue in all aspects of development. Efforts
and measures are put in place to mainstream the issue into development agenda. Our development
agenda is guided by our own philosophy of Gross National Happiness and Vision 2020, the
international sustainable development goals, and other regional goals, which emphasizes on
environmental conservation, combating climate change and its effect, developing disaster resilient
infrastructure, and reducing carbon footprints.
Primary environmental pressures on urban environment arise from:
• Pollution- land, air, water and noise
• Increasing solid waste production and safe and sustainable disposal challenges
• Safe and sustainable waste water management and treatment
• Lack of good drainage systems to address increasing flooding incidents especially
during monsoons
The Thromde experiences one of the heaviest rains in the country often resulting in flooding and
water logging in the town areas. This calls for need of proper storm-water drains, flood mitigation
structures and river training. The need for disaster resilient infrastructure, especially from earth
quake is high considering Bhutan’s location in the seismically active zone. Therefore, this
programme is aimed at fostering a culture of community social responsibility among individuals
and communities in the preservation and conservation of our environment and in contributing
towards the nation’s commitment to remain carbon neutral.
The Thromde will focus on the following strategies:
a. Assess and explore mitigation measures pertaining to low emission in priority sectors like
waste management, transport, residential building, industries and etc. Measures like energy
efficient transport system, energy efficient buildings and appliances, use of renewable
59
energy and waste and waste water management will be explored and implemented
accordingly.
b. Energy efficiency will be promoted by installing energy efficient street lights (LED),
replacing inefficient lights with efficient ones, encouraging households to use LEDs and
exploring solar energy as a power alternative.
c. Initiate and support green transportation by encouraging residents to buy electric and
hybrid vehicles (EV/HV)for which supporting services like EV charging station will be
installed in the Thromde.
d. Enhance engineering capacity as well as collaboration with relevant central agencies to
improve technology and quality of climate-proof and disaster-resilient drawings, design
and construction of related infrastructures. Institute systems to monitor and enforce
compliance to safety features in construction of structures for human occupancy.
e. Solar Water Heating may be mandated for typologies such as hotels; for others may be
incentivized with various means in collaboration with relevant central agencies such as
Ministry of Works and Human Settlement (MoWHS), Department of Renewable Energy
(DRE), etc.
f. Thromde disaster-contingency plan with robust mechanism for information sourcing and
sharing will be developed and capacity built for disaster preparedness, response and
rehabilitation.
g. Awareness, monitoring and enforcement systems will be strengthened to ensure that
disaster resilient and adaptation standards and quality is incorporated and adhered to in any
development works and infrastructure constructions by both private and government
entities.

16.1 Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Programme to promote gender equality and empowering women and girls.
Objective: To promote gender equality and empower women and girls
Collaborating Agency/ies: NCWC/MoE
Programme Strategies:
o The GNH Survey 2015 observes that in Bhutan, women are less happy than men. However,
it was also noted that women’s GNH increased faster than men from 2010-2015 reducing
gender inequality. Disparity is the largest in the education and good governance domains
and overall, but people in rural areas enjoy higher sufficiency in political participation,
donation, community relationships, ecological issues and safety indicators as compared to
those in urban areas.
o Women are poorly represented in decision-making positions both in the parliament and
civil service. Only 8.5 percent of women were elected in the National Assembly elections
in 2008 and 2013. However, for the National Council election in 2013, there were no
women elected. In 2012, women only accounted for 36 percent of the entire civil service
workforce out of which only 6 percent held executive positions.
o While notable success has been made in terms of ending all types of discrimination against
women and girls, there is still poor representation of women in decision-making and other
development agenda. On the positive note, Thimphu Thromde has two women
representative members (council members) in Thromde’s highest decision making body;
Thromde Tshogde which is at par with the male counterpart. The programme shall explore
ways and means to incentivize women and girls to participate in local forums. The school
going girls shall be the priority for advocacy, awareness and campaigns pertaining to the
same.
o At the national level, unemployment rate is higher for women than their male counterparts
(F-3.1% & M-1.8%, LFS 2015) and for Thimphu Thromde it is 6.4 percent (male-5.1%
and Female-8.6%). Employment opportunities for women in the country have largely been
in the agriculture sector, where productivity and earnings are low. However, in the
Thromdes, employment opportunities with higher returns for labor exist outside agriculture
sector for both men and women such as CSMIs.
65
Considering the importance placed on promoting gender equality and empowering women and
girls, the Thromde shall focus on the following key strategies:
a. Focus on periodic sensitization and media advocacy program on the importance of
gender equality and rights so as to empower women which will also encourage women
participation in all kind of electoral/election programs.
b. Collaborate with relevant agencies to conduct gender related research particularly on
participation in the decision making, entrepreneurship and violence against women
(VAW), gender related aspects of health, teenage pregnancy, etc.
c. Thromde will make available information on employment opportunities or any form of
skills development training (entrepreneurships, leadership training and public
speaking).
d. Thromde will also promote ideas such as women cooperatives, self-help groups, etc.
among women as a means of uplifting women out of poverty and easing their financial
difficulties.

17.1 Programme Summary and Strategies
Programme Title: Democracy & decentralization
Objective: To strengthen democracy & decentralization
Collaborating Agency/ies: Gewogs/MoHCA, DLG/ECB
Programme strategies
During the local government elections held in 2016 in the four thromdes (Thimphu, Phuentsholing,
Samdrup Jongkhar and Gelephu) and 205 Gewogs, a total of 3,391 candidates contested for
various Local Government offices. Out of this, a total of 1,439 candidates were elected;
comprising 164 women and 1,275 men.
Seven women and 13 men were elected to the 20 Thromde Tshogpa posts, and two women and ten
men were elected to the Thromde Ngotshabs posts. Female representation and participation in the
Thromde election have been considerably low. In the 12th FYP, LG’s share of resources has
doubled and therefore strengthening implementation capacity at the LG level is critical.
Thus, to address these issues, Thromde will undertake the following strategies;
a. Framework for interactions at the community level will be developed to make the process
more inclusive (especially women and youth groups) and people-centric. Local
communities will be mobilized and organized and opportunities created for meaningful
dialogue between community representatives and the executives on Thromde development,
to develop local action plans, share experiences and feedback, and problems.
b. Collaborate with Department of Local Governance to enforce and implement Community
Engagement Guideline to conduct transparent, inclusive, accountable and effective
zomdues and effectively implement the resolutions of the zomdues.
c. Ensure timely update and information sharing on Thromde plans and budget, annual
expenditure and progress, bye-laws, policy formulation, and any other critical public
information on the public notice board, Thromde website and portals.
d. Collaborate with central agencies to ensure adequate and rational deployment of human
resources in Thromde and strengthen their capacity in planning and management of
increasing development and expenditure responsibilities at the local level
71
e. Promote awareness and understanding of the local communities and citizens on LG Act,
other rules, guidelines and manuals in place. Also ensure faster and effective redressal of
developmental and social issues and attend the grievances faced by the citizens and inform
citizens on the actions taken.
f. Ensure enforcement and compliance to provisions of LG Act and other rules, guidelines
and manuals to enhance citizen’s participation and ownership in Thromde development.
g. Form more community user groups, committees and cooperatives (similar to community
monitoring and assessment committee-CMAC, currently being piloted in dzongkhags) to
strengthen local democracy, community monitoring, enhance citizen’s participation and
engagement in planning, decision-making and management of Thromde development and
economic growth. Women and disabled-people participation and representation in these
groups and zomdues will also be ensured to be able to fully capture the development needs
of the community.

18. Programme Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
Keeping in mind the importance of institutional efficiency and good governance, the 12th Five
Year Plan shall be monitored using the Government Performance Management System (GPMS)
with an objective to enhance accountability, transparency, and efficient utilization of resources.
Particularly, through the Annual Performance Agreements (APA); a record of understanding
signed between the Prime Minister and the Thrompon that provide a summary of the most
important objectives, actions and activities that the Thromde expect to achieve in a financial year.

annually by the National Technical Committee (NTC) to measure the degree of progress made in
implementing the annual activities. This will ensure that any issues affecting the implementation

programmes/projects can be evaluated by agencies concerned, local governments and GNHC as
guided by the National Evaluation Policy.
The LGs shall also be responsible for monitoring the activities within the scope of their mandate;
it shall be the responsibility of the Thromde to undertake overall monitoring of the activities within
