Policy research institutions and the health SDGs : building momentum in South Asia - revised country report, Bhutan
Abstract
This report is part of the South-Asia collaborative study: “Policy Research Institutions and Health-related SDGs: Building Momentum in South Asia.” It delineates the institutional framework in Bhutan for implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and SDGs related to health, and reflects on the role of Policy Research Institutions (PRIs) in the health sector. The Gross National Happiness Commission (GNHC) as the central planning agency, incorporates SDGs into national programs and strategies. Currently, 134 SDG targets out of the 143 relevant SDG targets have been successfully integrated into the Five Year Plan (FYP). Resource constraints and technology gaps impede achievement of the targets.
