Evaluation Landscape in Bhutan: Policies, Systems, and Capacities
Bhutan has institutional arrangements for evaluation led by the Royal Audit Authority and a Research and Evaluation Division in the GNHC. The VOPE engages government officials, CSOs, and the private sector in evaluation activities. Partnerships are fostered through the Evaluation Association of Bhutan (EAB) and initiatives with EvalYouth. Plans include expanding awareness and collaboration with parliamentarians and academics.
