AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Integrity Watch: Bhutan’s National Integrity Assessment 2025 shows a strong overall score of 8.16/10, but ACC flags lingering issues like favouritism, ethical leadership gaps and a trust deficit. Education Reform: The Ministry of Education confirms the Cambridge-aligned curriculum will be fully rolled out across secondary schools by 2027, shifting progression from exam-only results to competency-based assessment. Digital Payments: UPI is now live in Greece, expanding India’s cross-border payment reach; Bhutan is already among UPI-connected countries. Climate Resilience: JICA reaffirms support for Bhutan’s disaster preparedness and climate resilience, including better meteorological observation and flood warning for Paro and Thimphu basins. Urban Safety: A new geotechnical study is guiding safer, climate-resilient development in Phuentsholing, supported by UNDP and disaster-resilient infrastructure partners. Local Economy: Tsirang farmers in Thakorling Chiwog get a dedicated, disability-friendly vegetable market facility along the Tsirang–Sarpang highway. Regional Cooperation: Bhutan has begun construction of its Nu.160 million temple complex in Lumbini, strengthening cultural and diplomatic ties with Nepal.
