  • 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.

  • Gross National Happiness Commission the Royal Government of Bhutan
    STRATEGIC PROGRAMME FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE (SPCR) UNDER THE PILOT PROGRAMME FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE (PPCR) Climate-Resilient & Low-Carbon Sustainable Development Toward Maximizing the Royal Government of Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS COMMISSION THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF BHUTAN FOREWORD The Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) recognizes the devastating impact that climate change is having on Bhutan’s economy and our vulnerable communities and biosphere, and we are committed to address these challenges and opportunities through the 12th Five Year Plan (2018-2023). In this context, during the 2009 Conference of the Parties 15 (COP 15) in Copenhagen, RGoB pledged to remain a carbon-neutral country, and has successfully done so. This was reaffirmed at the COP 21 in Paris in 2015. Despite being a negative-emission Least Developed Country (LDC), Bhutan continues to restrain its socioeconomic development to maintain more than 71% of its geographical area under forest cover,1 and currently more than 50% of the total land area is formally under protected areas2, biological corridors and natural reserves. In fact, our constitutional mandate declares that at least 60% of Bhutan’s total land areas shall remain under forest cover at all times. This Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) represents a solid framework to build the climate- resilience of vulnerable sectors of the economy and at-risk communities across the country responding to the priorities of NDC. It also offers an integrated story line on Bhutan’s national

  • Population and Migration in Thimphu Thromde
    Population and Migration in Thimphu Thromde Sangay Chophel* Abstract As a developing country, Bhutan is on the upward trajectory of urbanization. While it has benefits it also exerts pressures. Within Bhutan, Thimphu thromde has the largest urban population, which exhibit many forms of urbanization. Using the data from 2017 Population and Housing Census of Bhutan, the paper projects the population of Thimphu city till 2027 due to lack of its population projection. The cohort-component method is used for projection. The net-migration from 2005 to 2017 is calculated using residual method. Further, employing probit regression, the determinants of migration to Thimphu thromde is examined. Age, marriage, unemployment, land, household composition, household income and education are significant determinants of migration. Introduction Urbanization in Bhutan has continued apace. The urban population has increased from 30.9% in 2005 to 37.8% in 2017, and largest share of the overall population reside in Thimphu thromde (city) at 15.8%1 where most of the government offices are based. The other three cities are Phuntsholing, Samdrup Jongkhar and Gelephu thromdes. There are relatively smaller urban areas in each of the 20 districts. The annual growth rate of Thimphu thromde (3.72%) has * Senior Research Officer, Centre for Bhutan & GNH Studies.

  • Farming and Biodiversity of Pigs in Bhutan

While there is evidence of increased religious disapproval of pig raising, the consumption of pork, which is mainly met from imports, is increasing every year. Pig development activities are mainly focused on introduction of exotic germplasm. There is an evidence of a slow but steady increase in the population of improved pigs in the country. On the other hand, indigenous pigs still comprise 68 percent of the total pig population but their numbers are rapidly declining. If this trend continues, indigenous pigs will become extinct within the next 10 years. Once lost, this important genetic resource is largely irreplaceable. Therefore, Government of Bhutan must make an effort to protect, promote and utilize indigenous pig resources in a sustainable manner. In addition to the current ex situ conservation programme based on cryopre- servation of semen, which needs strengthening, in situ conservation and a nucleus farm is required to combat the enormous decline of the population of indigenous pigs and to ensure a sustainable source of swine genetic resources in the country.

  • Bhutan-Swiss Collaboration to Institutionalise Archaeology in Bhutan Philippe Della Casa, Peter Fux, Andreas Mäder

Introduction 1.1 The setup of the Bhutan-Swiss Archaeology Project To date, Bhutan has no archaeological institution, neither at the university nor on ad- ministration level, and except for a single rescue excavation in the course of a con- struction project initiated by Helvetas in central Bhutan – the excavation was financed by the Swiss-Liechtenstein Foundation for Archaeological Research Abroad (SLSA) and realised by the Swiss archaeologist Dr. Reto Blumer in 1999–20011 – no archaeological excavation was ever conducted in Bhutan until autumn 2008. However, on March 29, 2005, Bhutan’s current Prime Minister, H.E. Jigmi Y. Thin- ley, expressed in a letter to Werner Külling – secretary-general of the Swiss develop- ment organisation Helvetas – his wish «to initiate archaeological projects in Bhutan for the first time in the country’s history». In the same letter it is stated that «the site of the ruins of Drapham Dzong in the district of Bumthang has been selected as the first project site». Later on (May 13, 2005), the head of the Division for Conservation of Heritage Sites mentioned in a letter to Helvetas that it is «His Majesty, the King of Bhutan’s personal wish to one day initiate archaeological projects in Bhutan», and that to this very first project great importance should be attached, since it would be «a leading example to many such projects that are planned for implementation in the country in the future.» And the request is expressed «to receive possible support for this significant and pioneering project» from Helvetas, i.e.
