AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Disaster Preparedness: Thimphu’s full-scale earthquake simulation has flagged real-world gaps in coordination, communication, and emergency readiness, including delays in activation, weak team coordination, and vulnerabilities at the National Referral Hospital such as limited building-safety assessment capacity, ambulance shortages, and unreliable backup communications. Urban Health & Climate Resilience: Thimphu Thromde is moving ahead with a major revitalisation of the Memorial Chorten stream corridor—aiming to cut flood risk while improving drainage, pedestrian access, and adding greener public spaces and solar-powered lighting. Nutrition & Child Health: Bhutan plans to expand school feeding and nutrition to 467 schools in 2026–27, adding 20 Green Kitchens to improve safer meal prep, hygiene, and nutrition for better learning and wellbeing. Public Health Policy: Bhutan Food and Drug Authority has tightened enforcement of a public smoking ban, with fines of Nu 500 for smoking in designated public areas and clear smoke-free rules for shops and shopping centres. Human Capital Challenge: The State of the Nation Report warns that outmigration and falling birth rates are shrinking Bhutan’s workforce and human capital, calling migration abroad a major national risk.
