“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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

32 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.

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

 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

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.

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

70 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. It entails performance indicators and targets that will be reviewed quarterly, bi-annually and 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 of annual planned activities are identified and addressed within the approved timeline. Additionally, the 12th Plan will also be monitored using the Multi Year Rolling Budget System (MYRB) of Department of National Budget, and the Public Expenditure Management System (PEMS) of Department of Public Accounts, Ministry of Finance. These systems have been integrated with the GPMS to enhance/ strengthen sharing of planning, budgeting and expenditure information for planning and monitoring purposes. The Gross National Happiness Commission shall also conduct Quarterly and Mid-Term Review (MTR) of the 12th FYP and mid-course correction of the plan will be undertaken as necessary. The results of the 12th FYP will be evaluated by GNHC at the end of the plan. Evaluation of specific 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 its jurisdiction and compile and provide annual update on the plan activities and KPIs related to the Thromdes. Similarly, Thromdes will be responsible for monitoring the plans and programmes of the respective Thromdes and subsequent reporting to the GNHC. The 12th FYP shall actively promote social accountability and therefore, encourage citizen monitoring of the development plans happening within their community to ensure greater accountability and results of development programmes. The Thromdes will also form Community user’s groups, and Community Monitoring and Assessment Committees (CMAC) in a democratic

74 manner to ensure citizen’s participation and engagement in planning, decision-making and management of local development and economic growth.
