About the assessment

Background

BCAS 2023 is a collaborative document co-designed by the CSO Authority and Anti-corruption Commission. The formulation began as a mitigation measure to ensure the registered CSOs in Bhutan are aware of the existing legislations relevant to the CSO sector. The framework therefore is customized specifically catering to CSOs' governance requirements in alignment with the existing legislations to promote the credibility of the sector.

Objectives

To ensure CSOs awareness on the legal compliances.
To enhance and strengthen CSOs internal governance.
To promote accountability, transparency and Integrity measures within the CSOs.

Assessment

The implementation assessment of BCAS is conducted annually by the CSOA via robust and transparent assessment procedures. This is to ensure regular compliance to all the relevant regulations.
