Bhutan Toilet Organization Secures Grant for Public Toilet Transformation Initiative
We are delighted to announce that the Bhutan Toilet Organization (BTO) has officially signed a grant agreement with the Civil Society Organization Authority (CSOA), in the presence of the Office of Cabinet Affairs and Strategic Coordination, Royal Government of Bhutan.
This milestone agreement signed under the Government of India’s Project Tied Assistance, represents a major step forward in modernizing public sanitation across the country.
With a total funding support of Nu. 6.9 million, this two-year initiative will:
✅ Upgrade 22 public toilets across five key districts – Thimphu, Paro, Punakha, Bumthang, and Trongsa
✅ Train and certify toilet managers, enhancing their skills and professional recognition
✅ Develop a smart digital monitoring system for real-time user feedback and GPS mapping of public toilets
This initiative is aligned with the National Public Toilet Guideline (2021) and reinforces Bhutan’s commitment to safely managed sanitation for all, in line with the Healthy Drukyul Vision.
As part of the 13th Five Year Plan, a total of 16 CSOs across the country were awarded similar grants, reflecting the government’s strong support for civil society-led development.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Royal Government of Bhutan and the Government of India for supporting this transformative vision. With clean, inclusive, and accessible public toilets, we move one step closer to a Bhutan where hygiene and dignity go hand in hand.

How can some building owners sleep at night knowing they are the reason sewage is overflowing across our city?

The illegal practice of connecting roof gutters and surface drains into the sewer line is the primary cause of sewage spilling onto our streets through manholes. This reckless behavior has turned one of Thimphu’s most pressing urban problems into a daily nightmare for the public.

Thimphu Thromde has issued its FINAL WARNING: defaulting building owners must immediately disconnect these illegal connections and comply with regulations.

The city deserves clean, functional sewer systems. The time for excuses is over.
