/document-library/bhutan-corruption-risk-assessment-redd-final
The research for this study, commissioned by the Government of Bhutan and undertaken through a participative methodology, strongly suggests corruption is not a major threat to forests and forest-dependent people in Bhutan. However, stakeholders identified three main areas of concern, from which recommendations are developed
Access to timber and forests for rural communities
Forests crimes, including illegal logging
Governance challenges in relation to decentralization or community co-management of forests
