Preface Denmark has provided development assistance to Bhutan for 30 years starting through multilateral agencies from 1978. Bilateral development cooperation dates back to 1985. In 1989 Bhutan was selected as one of Denmark’s programme countries, and from 1992 development cooperation was concentrated within three areas: health, environmental and natural resource management, and urban development. Education was added in 2003. Support to good governance and public administrative reform, including decentralisa- tion and democratisation, was initiated through the flexible Local Grant Authority right from the beginning of the bilateral cooperation, but emerged as a full programme from 1998. The early support to industrialisation was phased out in the late 1990s. The Local Grant Authority has provided flexible support to a number of activities throughout the period. The total Danish assistance since 1989 amounts to almost DKK 1.4 billion in current prices. As Bhutan’s population is small, about 700,000 people, the assistance per capita, around DKK 2,000, has been the highest Danish assistance per capita to any of its 15 partner countries. In Bhutan, Denmark has for many years been the second largest bilateral provider of assistance after India. The current period for the Danish Bhutanese Country Programme (2008-13) is expected to be the last full-fledged programme support period for Denmark’s bilateral develop- ment assistance. This will be followed by a transition phase during which a gradual phas- ing of the sector programmes will take place with special attention to consolidation of the results achieved through previous Danish assistance. After this phase, the collaboration is expected to focus on other areas and relationships such as private sector development, cultural and civil society cooperation, but support to combating the effects of climate change may also be considered. The evaluation was commissioned as part of the collaboration between Danida’s Evalua- tion Department and the Research and Evaluation Division of the Gross National Hap- piness Commission Secretariat of Bhutan. Inserted in the report is a brief – 33 minutes – documentary film on a DVD: “Bhutan and Denmark through 30 years”. The film was directed by Tsering Penjore and written by Nyingtob Pema Norbu and shows the partnership as seen by the Bhutanese. The pro- duction of the documentary was supported by the Evaluation Department. 3 Table of content Acknowledgements 6 Executive Summary 10 1 Introduction and background 20 1.1 Objective of the evaluation 20 1.2 Approach and methodology 21 1.3 Outcome indicators 23 1.4 Sources of information 23 2 Trends in economic, social and political development since 2000 25 2.1 Macro-economic trends 25 2.2 Profile and achievements in poverty alleviation 26 2.3 Introduction of constitutional democracy 27 2.4 Human rights 28 3 Danish Bhutanese Country Programme 29 3.1 Country Strategy 1997 29 3.2 Strategy for Development Cooperation 2003-07 29 3.3 Strategy for Development Cooperation 2008-13 30 3.4 Summary of intervention logic 31 3.5 Summary of Danish support 32 4 Focus sectors: Achievements and challenges 34 4.1 Support to education 34 4.2 Support to health 44 4.3 Support to governance and decentralisation 54 4.4 Support environment and urban management 65 5 Aid relations: Denmark as development partner 75 5.1 Policy dialogue 75 5.2 Aid modalities, harmonization and alignment 75 5.3 Capacity development achievements 77 5.4 Relevance and effectiveness 79 6 Lessons learned, challenges and recommendations 81 6.1 Lessons learned 81 6.2 Recommendations 82 7 Beyond 2013 85 4 Table of Content Annexes: 1.

Quality assurance was provided by Stephen Jones. The evaluation team visited Bhutan in November as well as December 2009. During its visit in December the team conducted interviews in four dzongkhags: Samtse, Punakha, Monggar and Bumthang. The key findings and recommendations were presented at a validation workshop in Thimphu in March 2010. The evaluation team would like to express their gratitude to representatives of the Royal Government of Bhutan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the Liaison Office of Denmark in Thimphu and all others that provided valuable input into the evaluation during interviews, discussions, informal chats and focus group meetings. In addition to this report, which synthesises the findings of the evaluation, a number of sector notes and thematic papers were prepared (see list in Table of Contents). These can be found on the website of the Evaluation Department of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (www.evaluation.dk).

  • Engthen the Financial Management System the General Auditing Rules and Regulations (GARR) Was Issued in 1989
    Annual Audit Report 2004 Part I Background By virtue of the Kashos and the provisions contained in the General Auditing Rules and Regulations of Bhutan (GARR), the Royal Audit Authority (RAA), the Supreme Audit Institution (SAI) of Bhutan is responsible for audit of public sector agencies and reporting its findings. In 1961, the 16th Session of the National Assembly of Bhutan formed a committee of Accounts and Audit in response to the need for establishing accountability. The Committee would comprise of one representative of the King and one representative each from the Cabinet, People and the Monk Body all nominated by the King. The Royal Government issued the first edition of the Financial Manual in 1963. The manual provided for the organization of the Development Wing of the government and the Accounts and Audit for the Development Wing. The Accounts and Audit Wing maintained the books of accounts, conducted budgetary controls of revenues and expenditures, and undertook periodic audit and inspection of accounts and records. In October 1969 the 31st Session of the National Assembly based on a motion proposed by the King to delegate the auditing authority voted for the appointment of Royal Auditors to conduct the audit of accounts and records of the Royal Government. Consequently, the four Royal Auditors were appointed on 16th April 1970 under a Royal Kasho. The Kasho defined and authorized the jurisdiction of the then Royal Audit Department as primarily responsible for the audit of accounts of the Ministry of Finance, Ministries, the Royal Bhutan Army, the Royal Bhutan Police and His Majesty’s Secretariat.

Before introducing the report, I would like to address the House on the global health crisis the world is facing, a crisis far graver than what we have seen. COVID-19 has impacted nearly every country in the world, however due to His Majesty’s farsighted leadership our nation is able to successfully prevent COVID-19 taking tolls on Bhutanese lives. During the national address on National Resilience Fund delivered on 10th April, 2020, His Majesty commanded that, “in times of normal conditions, while making national choices, we must carefully examine and weigh the difference between sufficiency and insufficiency, the important and the unimportant, benefits and costs by deliberating over long-term rather than short-term interests.
