As agriculture is a prioritized sector for both Bhutan and JICA, JICA believes that rural development, through extensive support to farmers, not only supports Bhutan in alleviating poverty, but also further contributes to its food self-sufficiency. As decentralization is crucial for Bhutan’s successful democratization, JICA is working towards strengthening administrative organizations, developing human resources, and facilitating coordination between the central and local governments in relevant areas.
