ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The 11thFive Year Plan (2013-18) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests
(MoAF) is drawn and framed from the overall vision of Gross National Happiness
and is linked to the national plan through the various sectoral key results areas
and indicators. The MoAF planning process initiated as early as January 2012 as
soon as the National Planning Guideline was issued by the GNHCS. Cascading
from the national planning guideline, a technical guideline for the preparation of
11th plan for MoAF has been developed to facilitate and support the
departments/agencies, dzongkhags and geogs so that the local aspirations are
synchronised with the central priorities.
Unlike the previous plan document, the 11th FYP document is being published in
a single volume with two distinctive parts for easy reference. Part I consist of the
background, description of the programs, 10th FYP achievements, monitoring and
evaluation while Part II describe the programs, activities and budget outlays.
The Policy and Planning Division (PPD) is highly indebted to the Gross National
Happiness Commission, the Ministry of Finance and all other relevant agencies
for their guidance and constant supervision as well as for providing necessary
information regarding the plan and for their support in the formulation process.
We would like to express our special appreciation to the Hon Minister, Hon
Secretary, Director Generals, Directors and all heads of various agencies under
the Ministry for their guidance and strong supports in formulation of our plan.
Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge with much appreciation the crucial
role our central agencies, dzongkhags, geogs and all relevant agencies for
providing with valuable information and their unstinted supports.
