20th by 2020: Bhutan’s Drive for Improved Governance
Asian Development Bank | June 2014
Abstract
Bhutan has made impressive gains in social, economic, and political development over the years. Its unique approach in this regard—encapsulated in the philosophy of Gross National Happiness— serves as an anchor for sustained efforts at holistic development. The drive for good governance in the country has been a consistent, and well-supported, development objective of the government; the commendable work of the Royal Audit Authority and the Anti-Corruption Commission is testimony to this commitment. This book, in the main, tells the story of the work of these two organizations.
