ISBN 978-99936-55-01-5 2 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag HIS MAJESTY THE KING JIGME KHESAR NAMGYEL WANGCHUCK 3 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag 4 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag Our Nation has seen great socio-economic growth but it is more important that we have growth with equity. We must raise, with all our effort, the less fortunate so that they may, at the earliest, begin to partake in the opportunities brought by modernization and progress. The government has provided education to our youth. But for the nation to prosper for all time, a sound education must be succeeded by access to the right jobs and responsibilities, so that our youth may bloom as individuals and at the same time serve their Nation well. The recent Rupee shortage is a serious problem. I feel it is a reminder that, as a Nation, we must exercise our traditional sense of caution and work even harder as we address the challenges of the time. For no matter what challenges lie ahead, it is only the Bhutanese citizen who can protect and safeguard Bhutan. - His Majesty The King’s address to the nation during the 105th National Day celebrations, 17th December 2012, in Thimphu. 5 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag 6 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag དཔལ་辡ན་འ宲ུ་ུག筴་⼍ Royal Government of Bhutan PRIME MINISTER 7 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag དཔལ་辡ན་འ宲ུ་ུག筴་⼍ Royal Government of Bhutan PRIME MINISTER 8 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag དཔལ་辡ན་འ宲ུ་ུག筴་⼍ Royal Government of Bhutan PRIME MINISTER 9 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag 10 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Introduction The bottom-up Gewog-based planning process, as per the decentralized planning framework, was introduced in the Ninth Plan. Since then, the local governments have been formulating their Five Year Plans based on the development priorities identified by the communities at the Gewog level. The introduction of the Gewog-based planning process was followed by “fiscal decentralization” in the Tenth Plan. The allocation of annual grants to local governments based on the resource allocation formula that took into account principles of equity, transparency and objectivity was launched. The new system of allocating resources to the local governments provided greater predictability and offered higher flexibility in prioritization and programming of activities. The devolution of authority has enhanced capacities of the local governments in planning, prioritization and fiscal management. Further, to bring clarity on the roles of various levels of the government in the delivery of public services at the local level and to facilitate the distribution of resources between the centre and the local governments, the division of responsibilities framework was developed in 2012. The division of responsibilities framework1, clearly delineates responsibilities among the central agencies, Class “A” Thromde, Dzongkhags and Gewogs guided by the ‘principle of subsidiarity’. The ‘principle of subsidiarity’ is that provision of public goods and services should take place at the lowest level of the government and that the centre should be involved only when the lower levels of the government cannot provide the goods and services efficiently. The division of responsibility framework will be reviewed during the Eleventh Plan mainly to assess the capacity of the local governments to shoulder increased responsibilities and to build their capacities accordingly. In addition to the broad based socio-economic development activities, targeted poverty intervention programmes such as the Rural Economy Advancement Programme (REAP) and the National Rehabilitation Programme (NRP) were initiated in the Tenth Plan to accelerate poverty reduction and address disparities at the local level. Accordingly, 13 poorest villages2 were supported through REAP I and around 109 villages have been identified for implementation under REAP II in the Eleventh Plan. 1Refer www.gnhc.gov.bt/guidelines-local-government/ 2Thangdokha, Dramekha and Ngatsena - Haa, Sanu Dungtoe - Samtse, Mandokha & Choleykha - Chukha, Lopokha - Wangdue Phodrang, Lauri - Samdrup Jongkhar, Ungar - Lhuentse, Samcholing - Trongsa, Reti - Sarpang, Lamtang - Zhemgang, Pam & Chaibi - Mongar. 4 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag Under the NRP, 44 households in Khenadrang, Pemagatshel were rehabilitated.
