How the Civil Society Organizations Authority and its Secretariat are organised.
The Authority
The Authority is the decision-making body. It reviews and approves registrations and accreditations, monitors compliance with the Civil Society Organizations Act, and institutes inquiries where an organisation is not in compliance. Its composition is set by Section 9 of the CSO (Amendment) Act 2022.
The Secretariat
The Secretariat carries out the Authority's decisions and runs the register day to day. It is headed by the Director, who is also the Member Secretary of the Authority.
- Registration and Coordination Unit — registration, renewal, annual submissions, and coordination with organisations and other agencies.
- Compliance and Inquiry Unit — monitoring, accountability assessment under the Bhutan Civil Society Accountability Standards, and inquiries.
- Legal — advice on the Act and the rules, and the conduct of inquiries.
