To engage the community in local economic development, the Department of Local Governance and Disaster Management held a workshop in Sangbaykha, Haa. The event is part of the 13th five-year plan. It is to help local government officials and communities to design and manage socio-economic development projects effectively.

The communities are encouraged to make decisions and come up with solutions in their areas.  More than 40 participants from across the country shared their success stories and presented project proposals. The department chose 14 community-based projects. The European Union will support these projects.

“They provided valuable insights on how to advance our currently approved project proposals. This idea and experience exchange workshop will empower us to turn our projects into success stories,” said Tashi Penjor, chairperson of Dzongkhag Tshogdu, Lhuentse.

“The workshop is enriching, with many community-based organisations, including Pachu, Pema Gatshel Lotus and Tea House, and Jigmechu Ecotourism Site, coming together to share their business journeys and prospects,” said Wangchuk Dorji, chairman ofJigmechu Ecotourism, Chhukha.

“My proposal focuses on Aloe vera farming, which is gaining popularity for its medicinal uses, while some also keep it for decoration. It’s been almost a year since we drafted this project, and now it has been selected under this scheme. This workshop has provided me with valuable experience and knowledge on community groups and their management,” said Sangay Wangmo, Goshi mangmi, Dagana.

“Normally, the dzongkhag does the designing and drawing of any projects. However, with this scheme, we will take a more holistic approach, incorporating community involvement and a multi-sectoral perspective. It will also ensure greater accountability. One of the new approaches we will immediately adopt is collaborating closely with the community,” said Tshering Penjor, architect, Haa.

The department aims to promote economic development by utilising local strengths through a multisectoral approach.

“By empowering the community to engage in decision-making, planning, and prioritising projects, with the central government providing funding and technical assistance, we can achieve sustainable management without relying on external agencies,” said Sonam Gyeltshen, chief programme officer DLGDM.

This ensures that development continues to benefit the needs of the present and future generations.
