TWELFTH FIVE YEAR PLAN Thimphu Thromde TWELFTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (2018-2023) Thimphu Thromde i ii Twelfth Five Year Plan Document © Copyright Gross National Happiness Commission (2019) Published by: Gross National Happiness Commission, Royal Government of Bhutan. ISBN: 978-99936-55-04-6 ISBN: 978-99936-55-05-3 iii “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 iv 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. v 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.

We wanted to learn new things and show off what all we have learnt during our Friday learning experiences. The Wangsel students which are in class pp- three also joined the events taking place at our school.

Not only the way it came into existence but also the manner in which it was interpreted made the process of democratization exceptional. As a land- locked country which is bordered on the north by Tibet in China and on the south by the Indian states Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, it was a late starter in the process of state-building.

  • Nepal, Bhutan and Their Neighbours Two Himalayan Countries Landlocked Between India and China
    BRIEFING Nepal, Bhutan and their neighbours Two Himalayan countries landlocked between India and China SUMMARY Nepal and Bhutan are two poor landlocked Himalayan countries, sandwiched between a democracy and an authoritarian one-party state: India and China. After an authoritarian past, during the last decade, they have begun reforms in order to switch towards a democratic model. After a long and complicated path, Nepal succeeded in adopting a new constitution in 2015. Its first post-constitution government is run by an alliance of communist parties. In Bhutan, the king has successfully steered the country towards democratisation, as confirmed by the October 2018 general elections. While historically the two countries have nurtured solid relations with India, in recent years Beijing has expanded its footprint in the region considerably, challenging Delhi's traditional sphere of influence and increasing its sense of encirclement. In 2017 this led to a crisis referred to as the 'Doklam Plateau standoff'. There is currently a window of opportunity for Nepal and Bhutan to diversify their economic and security partnership and to rebalance their foreign policies between their two big neighbours. The EU has been supporting the two countries on their democratic journey and tripled resources for both countries' development for the 2014-2020 period. As they are among the world's poorest countries, Nepal and Bhutan benefit from the EU's 'Everything But Arms' scheme, which grants full duty free and quota free access to the EU single market for all

    Le confidentiel Bhoutan menacé par le tourisme de masse ?

Cette désignation intervient après que le pays ait été récompensé comme destination du tourisme durable en mars 2018. Souvent pris comme modèle, le Bhoutan impose aux visiteurs de passer par une agence spécialisée pour entrer sur le territoire et demande un forfait journalier de 225 euros par personne avec pour but d’assurer le développement du pays et de protéger son environnement. Le Bhoutan (en dzongkha Druk Yul), en forme longue le royaume du Bhoutan, est un pays d’Asie du Sud sans accès à la mer. Il est situé dans l’Est de la chaîne de l’Himalaya, enclavé entre l’Inde au sud, à l’est et à l’ouest-sud-ouest, avec laquelle il partage 605 km de frontières terrestres, et la Chine (région autonome du Tibet) au nord et à l'ouest-nord-ouest avec 470 km de frontières.
