About this app

In Bhutan, Local government bodies were established in districts in 1981 and gewogs in 1991. The purpose was to promote people's active participation in expressing their priorities and developing local plans based on these priorities. Today, the local government bodies have become the highest decision-making authority in the 20 districts and 205 gewogs.
