On October 10th, the Civil Society Organization Authority (CSOA) hosted a grant signing ceremony to strengthen the partnership between the Government and CSOs. The event formalized awards to 16 CSOs, with contracts signed between CSOA and the recipient organizations in the presence of representatives from the Office of Cabinet Affairs and Strategic Coordination (OCASC).

Among the grant recipients is Chithuen Phendhey Association (CPA), which received Nu. 22.259 million for its project titled "The Comprehensive Reintegration and Intervention Program for Substance and Alcohol Use Disorders."

We extend our profound appreciation to OCASC (Prime Minister's Office - PMO, Bhutan) and the Government of India (India in Bhutan (Embassy of India, Thimphu) for making this landmark achievement possible for CSOs. Our sincere thanks also go to CSOA for their dedicated efforts in facilitating and administering the grant process from start to finish.
