FAO in Bhutan

Bhutan became a member of the FAO in 1981, and the country office was set up in the mid-1980s. The Food and Agriculture Organization is dedicated to providing extensive support to member countries. In Bhutan, this includes Technical Cooperation Programs, regional initiatives, and both bilateral and multilateral programs. For the 13th Five-Year Plan, the FAO aims to mobilize approximately USD 83 million through various projects. Additionally, FAO Bhutan serves as the Government Accredited Entity, enabling access to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for a water project and the Global Environment Facility (GEF 8 STAR) Allocation.
