The Royal Government of Bhutan

Bhutan contributes core support to ICIMOD, with the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resource (MoENR) as the designated nodal agency.

The incumbent Secretary of the MoENR formally represents Bhutan on the ICIMOD Board of Governors. Bhutan and ICIMOD has been working in the area of capacity building, institutional strengthening, internships, research and demonstration, and regional and international workshops and conferences, among other activities.

ICIMOD`s partner institutions in Bhutan include government agencies, development agencies, academic and research institutions, universities, NGOs and private sector. The formal letter of agreements for ICIMOD programs is routed and approved through the Department of Macro-Fiscal and Development Finance (DMDF) under the Ministry of Finance in close coordination with MoENR.
