The proposed project development objectives are to: (i) support Bhutan#s municipal reform program by strengthening municipal management systems in Thimphu and Phuentsholing; and (ii) improve infrastructure services in northern Thimphu where no formal services are currently available. The first objective supports RGOB#s municipal reform agenda and helps implement the Bhutan#s new Local Government Act of 2009 through a series of technical assistance, policy support, training programs, and studies. The project also aims to help establish an effective intergovernmental fiscal transfer system. The second objective addresses an urgent need for serviced urban land in rapidly growing Thimphu City, given the already substantial and increasing migrant population settling in the peripheries of Thimphu. The process of attaining these objectives would help develop models and capacity for broader urban management in Bhutan.
