Civil Society Grant Facility
EU CSO PROJECT
CSO support project aims to enhance the contribution of Civil Society to Bhutan’s 11th & 12th Five Year Plan. The project aims to improve its engagement in sustainable development and good governance. The specific objective of the project is to improve the enabling environment and operational capacity for civil society engagement in sustainable development and good governance by promoting an inclusive approach to strengthen civil society actors.
The CSO support project in Bhutan was launched in August 2017 and will be implemented by HELVETAS Bhutan over a period of 40 months, i.e. until December 2020. The project contributes to the EU multi-annual indicative programmer 2014-2020, which focuses on the good governance sector, including capacity development for civil society.
Over the course of 40 months, it is expected that the CSO support project will achieve the following three results:

ABOUT US
HELVETAS Bhutan will serve as Secretariat for the implementation of the Civil Society Grant Facility, and the EU funded CSO project at large. Setting up and operating the Grant Facility serves the purpose to enable civil society organisations to contribute to Gross National Happiness by receiving funds that will be used to promote sustainable development and strengthen good governance at local and national level. The grant fund will, through the implemented activities of civil society, lead to an active and inclusive participation of CSOs and citizenry in democratic consultations and decision-making processes at local and national level.
