With the transition of political, economic and social scenario in Bhutan, the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have been expanding over the years. Bhutan has more than forty registered CSOs and the numbers are still growing. However, paucity of trained social workers in Bhutan has compelled the CSOs to recruit employees with varying degrees. To mitigate this, Samtse College of Education (SCE) of the Royal University of Bhutan (RUB) launched Bhutan’s first ever certificate course in social work. So far, two cohorts of participants have been trained. This study was designed to understand the efficacy of Bhutan’s first ever certificate course in social work from the vantage point of the participants. It adopted a convergent parallel mixed method design, primarily employing questionnaires and semi-structured individual interviews. The study found the certificate course to be highly effective in enhancing the professional competence of the social workers in Bhutan. It is believed to have been an “eye-opening experience” for most social workers who ventured into this profession, without relevant training. The study recommends SCE and RUB to provide similar certificate courses to the thousands to untrained social workers in Bhutan.

As rural and subsistence households in the Global South take on the consumption habits of industrialized countries, shifting consumption patterns have contributed to cascades of nonbiodegradable solid waste overwhelming the ability of households, municipal authorities, and governments to manage. As global capitalism expands around the world, spiritual ecology approaches to waste and pollution can provide deeper insight into the attitudes and practices that create a “throw away” society. In rural southern Bhutan, the revered Buddhist teacher, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, initiated a waste reduction project based on Bhutan’s guiding development philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Through engaging cultural and spiritual values, and drawing on the inspirational qualities of social and spiritual leaders, the Samdrup Jongkhar Initiative’s Zero Waste project is an example of spiritual ecology activism for household waste management and waste reduction.

Introduction: Domestic violence is a public health problem all over the world, yet its prevalence is under-reported in a pervasive “culture of silence”. Bhutan is not likely to be an exception; however, data on the prevalence, forms and determinants of domestic violence are scant. The purpose of this study is to measure the prevalence and characterize factors associated with domestic violence among women in Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital. Methods: A population-based, household cross-sectional survey was conducted in January-May, 2012. A multistage sampling method was used to obtain a representative sample of 300 married women. The chi-square test was used to identify factors associated with increased likelihood of experiencing the four forms of domestic violence. Results: The overall prevalence of any domestic violence was 44%. By type of violence, the most common was emotional (36%), followed by control (30%), physical (20%) and sexual (14%). Sexual violence was reported more often by young adolescent women. Women from urban areas reported more emotional violence compared to women from rural areas. Women agreed with many situations in which force might be used by their husbands and with many of the traditional roles of women in society. Nonetheless, many women objected to the use of force in many situations and rejected certain constraining roles of women. Conclusions: This study supports the importance of advocacy for education and programs to prevent and mitigate harm from domestic abuse experienced by women in Bhutan.

Bhutan’s health system, despite its commendable achievements in past few decades, continues to face shortage of skilled healthcare professionals and quality issues in service delivery. While recruiting more professionals, advocating for population health, better patient experience and safety, healthcare provider wellness has been overlooked. As the recent pay revision receives warm welcome from the health fraternity, a sense of greater professionalism and responsibility will be expected. Yet, aforementioned challenges still remain. Life and aspirations of professionals, brought up and trained in society that provides free healthcare and education, will become more convoluted. Mentorship program for healthcare providers at the beginning of their career and institutionalizing enabling environment for their personal and professional development need to be looked into. Decisions to pursue specialization should be a result of genuine interest and not a presumed exit hallway from professional frustrations, nor a shortcut to hefty pay. A promising and congruous career pathway can improve job satisfaction among health care providers. Endeavors to improve healthcare service delivery are present at every level but lack of coordination hampers favorable outcome. Variation in healthcare is major cause of adverse healthcare outcome and it is also known that every system is perfectly designed to achieve the results it gets. After conceptualizing few desired outcomes, a strategy framework that leads to health system improvement through improved individual productivity and systemic reforms enhancing intra- and inter sectoral coordination, while using evidence-based practice and existing resources, is proposed.

Cataclysms are difficult, uncontrollable problems that put societies and nations to the test in terms of how successfully they can protect their infrastructure and population, reduce losses on a material and human level, and recover rapidly. Throughout the beginning of recorded human history, infectious diseases have afflicted people. Over the last four decades, the rise of urbanization, globalization, and population expansion has played a significant role in the escalation of both the occurrence and cross-border dissemination of novel infectious diseases. The discovery of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the proliferation of COVID-19 in this world today have prompted many countries to take drastic action. Many economic aspects, not least innovative start-ups, experienced an external shock as a result of the “lockdown” of a sizable portion of society and economic activity. The first cases of COVID-19 in a nation are significant because they have an impact on the nation's response to preparedness, the perception of the pandemic by the general public, and the actions taken by medical professionals. A 76-year-old American man who visited Bhutan as a tourist and was isolated in a separate hospital with a committed medical care staff before being airlifted back to his nation experienced a fortunate turn of events in Bhutan. This patient made Bhutan and its people more careful, and the ensuing steps were so well thought out and wise. The patient's medical team, the government, and the Bhutanese people all took away lessons from this. The COVID-19 recovery effort has been hindered by the government's severe containment measures, which have caused supply chain interruptions, tourism industry problems, and an exodus of expatriate workers, leading to a labor shortage for both trained and unskilled personnel. This gap caused infrastructural projects to stall, which had a negative impact on the average person’s standard of living. Despite the fact that pandemic deaths are frequent, each one has influenced the socioeconomic and public health results, depending on the type and extent of the outbreak. In addition to reflecting on Bhutan's adaptability, responsiveness, and lessons learned, this study sought to provide a preliminary assessment of the COVID-19’s effects on the country. It also sought to provide a deeper understanding of the recent socioeconomic implications of the COVID-19.

In the Kingdom where Gross National Happiness is the most precious commodity, there is a growing awareness ofthe individual and communal toll that unmet mental health needs bring to bear on Bhutanese society. Even thoughmental illnesses are becoming public health issue, there is a tendency to neglect the care of mentally ill person in thegeneral setting. The reason for the neglect is due to lack of understanding and poor management of mental illness bythe health professionals and community at large. This article emphasizes the need to balance the traditional beliefsand medical science in order to provide a comprehensive mental health care in Bhutan.

The experiences of school principals implementing inclusive education in Bhutan is the focus of this study. The results draw on data gleaned from structured interviews of six principals (four males and two females) from the SEN integrated schools in Bhutan. Thematic coding and computational analysis were employed. The results highlighted that these principals were supportive of inclusive education. Within a short period of implementing the inclusive education program in schools, commendable progress has been achieved, especially in making appropriate accommodations and adjustments through the provision of additional teacher support, differentiation of classroom pedagogy, and modification of the assessment and evaluation of learning outcomes. The principals reported a strong sense of faith and confidence in the resilience of their teachers, and they emphasised their own commitment to lead inclusive education efforts in their schools. The positive experiences of the principals are particularly noteworthy in view of the lack of resources, infrastructure, and facilities accessible to all children, the inflexible curriculum, a lack of pre-service and in-service professional learning for teachers and inadequate understanding and knowledge of parents and the Bhutanese society in general. Inclusive Education was identified by the principals as a rights-based approach to education.

Introduction: HIV-related stigma and discrimination affect health and wellbeing and pose greater challenges to PLHIV. Stigma and discrimination remain as a major obstacle in curbing HIV epidemic, undermining HIV prevention efforts including uptake of voluntary testing, counseling, access to HIV treatment services and care. This study explored the experience of stigma and discrimination and its perceived influence on the psychological well-being of PLHIV in Bhutan. Methods: Explorative qualitative in-depth interviews were completed with 28 PLHIV in four geographical locations Thimphu, Phuntsholing, Gelephu, and Samdrupjongkhar, Bhutan. Participants were interviewed on the experience of stigma and discrimination and the perceived influence on their psychological wellbeing. Results: About 43% participants, slightly more among females, mentioned having experienced stigma and faced discrimination. Content analysis revealed individuals in the community, family members and relatives, workstations and healthcare providers as the potential sources of stigma and discrimination. Two-third of the participants appeared to have better psychological wellbeing. Nevertheless, about 36% admitted either feeling sad, worried, or lonely due to their HIV status. Introspection, support from family, relatives and friends, and meditation were perceived to help alleviate negative thoughts about HIV status and its influence. Conclusions: Despite vigorous advocacy and awareness campaign, HIV related stigma and discrimination is still prevalent in the Bhutanese society influencing psychological wellbeing among PLHIV. Findings provided important insights meriting the designing of effective interventions including the involvement of certified counselors to counter stigma and discrimination, promote wellbeing and positive living among PLHIV in Bhutan

Introduction Transgender persons experience health disparities and are marginalized in many societies worldwide. Even their numbers are unknown in many countries. We conducted the first effort to estimate the population size of transgender women (TGW) and transgender men (TGM) in Bhutan from November 2019 to January 2020. Methods Community-based surveys of TGW and TGM integrated several methods to estimate the size of hidden populations, including key informant mapping, wisdom-of-the-crowd, the service multiplier, and the unique object multiplier. Results of the several methods were synthesized using a Bayesian approach. Results Surveys included 34 TGW and 124 TGM. TGW was persons assigned to the male sex at birth and currently self-identified as “trans women” (91%), “women” (6%), or another gender (3%). TGM were persons assigned female sex at birth and self-identified as “trans men” (100%). Bayesian synthesis of the multiple methods estimated 84 TGW (credible interval 61–110) and 166 TGM (credible interval 124–211) in Bhutan. Conclusions Our study documented that TGW and TGM are part of Bhutanese society, with TGW constituting 0.03% of adult women and TGM 0.06% of adult men. Estimates can help advocate for resources and programs to address the health and well-being of these communities.

This research uses a narrative inquiry approach to explore and stage a Bhutanese community dialogue on the recent troubling rise in suicides by school students. Forty-four individual interviews and seven group interviews were conducted. The voices of secondary school students, key policymakers, a parent, school principals, school guidance counsellors, and a Buddhist teacher represent the Bhutanese education community. A community dialogue on suicide is timely and illustrates that collective efforts can generate systemic changes.

This thesis explores the process of identity renegotiation and the role social capital plays in civil society participation by the former refugee communities of Eritrean and Bhutanese living in Christchurch, New Zealand. This is undertaken through examination of three hypotheses pertaining to ethnic identity maintenance and national identity creation, community mobilisation and social capital, and the motivations behind such mobilisation. In comparing the processes of identity negotiation and social capital between the members of the Eritrean and Bhutanese communities, this study of 27 participants illustrates the importance of members’ ethnic community connection in the development of a national identity, and the dissimilar levels of social capital and subsequent participation in civil society by the two communities. This work analyses the role social capital within such migrant communities plays in members participation in their settlement society as well as in group’s ethnic identity maintenance. The theoretical framework of this work is influenced by the research of Berry (1997), Lucken (2010), Ager and Strang (2008) and Valtonen (1998; 2004). This study found there are much higher levels of social capital in the Bhutanese community compared to the Eritrean community. These disparate levels can be attributed to the differing demographics of the communities; the high levels of stress suffered by Eritrean members involved in the family reunification process; and the differences between the communities refugee experience prior to arrival in New Zealand. My findings also suggest that the process of national identification by migrants relies on strong connections between members’ and their ethnic community, not, as commonly assumed, participation in wider society. Importantly this work illustrates that social capital is necessary in the mobilisation of migrant communities. Grievances associated with settlement are not attended to on a community level unless there is a high degree of social capital within the community. This enables participation in civil society through the establishment of a representative community organisation, and members to cooperate with other sectors of wider society.

AbstractThis chapter introduces the country of Bhutan and its unique pursuit of a Buddhist-inspired foreign policy during the modern era (1949–present). This chapter illustrates how a modern state implements a national security and economic development policy consistent with Buddhist philosophical principles and Buddha’s political and economic teachings and, like the prior chapter, it serves as proof of concept for the possibility of putting Buddhist ideas into practice. The cornerstone of Bhutan’s foreign and domestic policies is its pursuit of Gross National Happiness, a concept that endorses holistic progress in the material, spiritual, emotional, cultural, and environmental welfare of its society.

AbstractThe future of the post-COVID, climate “red code” world, hugely depends on good governance and a transition to low carbon. World leaders have repeatedly stated a unified goal of establishing a carbon–neutral society by mid-century. Analysis shows that South Asia’s strong economic expansion has paved the way toward sustainable development, yet the region still has many unsustainable practices, except for Bhutan. As the first-only carbon-negative country globally, it is vital to extensively study, learn, and optimize Bhutan’s best practices to improve global climate practices. Bhutan’s three G model (gross domestic product—GDP, greenhouse gasses—GHG, gross national happiness—GNH) expands development metrics beyond GDP to people’s happiness and environmental well-being. This study demonstrates how adapting practices from Bhutan, which have been molded by local experiences, problems, and opportunities, would effectively bolster green climate practices in the South Asian region.

AbstractThis chapter looks at the relationship between culture and well-being. It introduces how the ‘the culture-well-being relationship’ is invoked in advocacy for culture’s role in social policy, resting on a philosophical lineage. It demonstrates how this relationship has been theorised, naturalised and popularised to become ‘common sense’ for some, while its use in policy has seen it institutionalised, operationalised, metricised and monetised. This chapter reviews this process through a brief survey of cultural policy, asking who decides which—or whose—culture is good for society from Victorian to contemporary cultural value debates. This chapter presents the increasing presence of well-being data in this story, as well as the role of cultural measures in national well-being data from the UK to Bhutan.

Abstract Questions of language and national identity have coloured the history of Nepal and the eastern Himalayan region for decades. But since the 1980s they have emerged at the forefront of political movements – sometimes violent – which have underscored the ethnic, religious, and social fault lines of the area. The relationship between language and identity is complex even at the level of smaller ethnic groups; when combined with the questions of nation and nationalism it has proved fraught with danger. In the mid-1980s Darjeeling’s separatist Gorkhaland movement played on language as the unifying strand of Indian Nepali society while insisting on a clear separation from the state of Nepal. Nepali finally gained recognition as a national language of India in 1992, the culmination of almost a century of campaigning. By this time Nepal’s own ‘people’s movement’ had brought an end to the monarchist Panchayat regime, opening a Pandora’s box of ethnic and linguistic claims. The collapse of the central autocratic system brought with it a loss of faith in the simple ‘one language, one country’ nationalism that had been promoted for decades. Ethnic grievances and spurned calls for linguistic rights have since been seized on by Maoist insurgents as further aids to recruitment in an intensifying war. In Bhutan, mean-while, the 1980s saw the Dzongkha language deployed as one element of a rigid state nationalism. By the start of the 1990s the teaching of Nepali had been banned and much of Bhutan’s Nepali-speaking population displaced to refugee camps.

Can a small, landlocked country sandwiched between the world’s two most populous countries open itself to the global economy without losing the values that make it a separate sovereign nation? Chapter 6 looks at critical challenges facing contemporary Bhutan such as maintaining its spirituality in the face of global consumer culture, the transmission of traditional values to its next generation, and the protection of minority rights. These assessments draw from longitudinal data on Bhutanese society and its national happiness surveys to offer a real-time assessment of the country’s well-being. The chapter concludes with a historical examination of the impact of Bhutanese government policies on Nepali Bhutanese.

Abstract Gross national happiness (GNH), as a living experiment in wellbeing economics, has its roots in Bhutan and is now influencing development thinking and practice worldwide. This chapter traces the history of GNH as it emerged from its birthplace in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan and describes how its unique vision has been moving from intention into action. The authors discuss the GNH Index and how it offers a holistic measurement and policy framework that integrates psychological, physical, societal, and environmental wellbeing, then explore several unique aspects of GNH: prioritising wellbeing rather than economic growth as the purpose of the economy, addressing both the outer conditions (an enabling environment) and inner factors (values and mindsets) for a wellbeing economy, and articulating a form of leadership described as ‘leadership of the self’. The authors describe how GNH is influencing wellbeing initiatives at different levels of scale, including individual, organisational, national, and global. They argue that the goal of human flourishing is deeply connected to tackling the current crisis of sustainability. The chapter concludes with reflections on how lessons from Bhutan’s experience might help inform and navigate opportunities and challenges going forward, both for Bhutan and for an emerging network of economies of wellbeing worldwide.

A growing body of scholarly literature has attempted to measure and value unpaid care work in various countries, but perhaps only the government statistical agencies in the United States and the United Kingdom have seriously undertaken periodic and systematic measures of the time spent on unpaid work at the national level, and partially incorporated those values into their gross domestic product(GDP). One country that has been ahead of its time on aspects of societal welfare measurement is Bhutan, which produces the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index. However, until the first GNH Survey, in 2008, Bhutan did not have any sense of the size and distribution of unpaid work, despite its strong societal norms about the value of volunteering and community work. This paper is the first to estimate the value of unpaid care work in Bhutan. It shows the pros and cons of various approaches and their equivalent measures of unpaid care work as a share of GDP. As with similar studies on the topic, this paper also finds that women spend more than twice as much time as men performing unpaid care work, regardless of their income, age, residency, or number of people in the household. The paper also provides recommendations for improving the measurement of unpaid care work in Bhutan.
