Coordinating Education and Health Policies in Bhutan

The central research question of the project is: ‘How can existing resources be utilized to meet critical challenges in the area of health and education?’ The research will apply a research strategy based on policy studies and identify the core impediments and obstacles to the establishment of more coordination of education and health policies at central, district and local level. Based on literature review and initial interviews conducted in Bhutan, the project will work from the assumption that it is possible to enhance quality and effectiveness of both the health and educational provision in Bhutan with the existing resources.
