Introduction

UNDP Bhutan seeks proposals from International Consultants for the Industrial Transformation Mapping in Bhutan. The objectives and Scope of the work as indicated below:

The ITM aims to develop sector-specific strategies (for at least 5 prioritized sectors) to improve productivity, coordination, and collaboration, partnership with the private sector, and guide efforts to become a high-income country driven by innovation and technology by 2034.

The scope of work will be carried out by a team of two consultants. The two consultants need to work closely together to ensure the coherence of the ITMs. One consultant will develop the ITM for 3 sectors, and the second consultant (this ToR) will develop the ITM for the remaining 2 sectors. 

Through the ITM, the following objectives should be achieved:

●     Enhance the competitiveness of the industry by addressing its structural weaknesses, improving productivity, adopting new technologies, building capabilities of labour force, and leveraging emerging opportunities; 

●     Promote innovation within the industry by fostering collaboration between industry players, encouraging research and development, and promoting the adoption of new technologies such as automation and artificial intelligence;

●     Improve the sustainability of the industry by promoting environment-friendly practices, reducing waste, and mitigating the impact of climate change; and

●     Strengthen partnerships between industry players, government, and other stakeholders by promoting collaboration, sharing resources, and aligning incentives.

●     Improve policy and regulatory environment.

Strengthen the capacity of the Government Officials engaged in the development of ITMs through knowledge transfer/capacity-building training.
