Public policies in the country are expected to become much more inclusive. This is because Civil Society Organisations will strengthen their roles and act as a bridge between the public and the policymakers which is aimed at promoting good governance and fostering inclusive development. To this effect, Save the Children, in collaboration with RENEW, Bhutan Transparency Initiative, and other CSOs, launched a project in the capital yesterday. 

Besides building the capacities of the CSOs, a project titled ‘Towards Empowering Bhutanese CSOs for Good Governance and Inclusive Development’ will enable CSOs to advocate for and address the needs of marginalised and vulnerable populations such as children, people living with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ among others, fostering inclusive development.

The project will increase their participation in policy dialogues with decision-makers.

“As you all know the CSOs, we consider ourselves as a representative of the community. We are the voice for the voiceless and we also consider ourselves a bridge between the policymakers, decision-makers, service providers, and the communities. The project that is being supported by the EU is going to help us to work towards the implementation of the policies,” said Meenakshi Rai (PhD), Programme and Services Director of RENEW.

“The main objective of this project is to enhance the capacity of CSOs and ensure good governance. The project looks at enhancing collaboration between the CSOs and the parliament and media,” said Rinzin Rinzin (PhD), Executive Director of Bhutan Transparency Initiative.

The three-and-a-half-year project, worth 875,000 Euros roughly over Nu 78 M is being funded by the European Union.

Currently, there are fifty-two registered CSOs in the country.
