THIMPHU (Bhutan), 1 August 2025 — The Chandler Institute of Governance (CIG) has completed a successful scoping visit to Bhutan at the invitation of Bhutan's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). This visit marks the first step towards exploring potential areas of collaboration to strengthen Bhutan’s anti-corruption efforts, integrity systems, institutional resilience, and governance capabilities.

The visit is part of CIG’s broader mission to support governments in building effective public institutions and cultivating high-integrity leadership. The delegation from CIG was led by Mr. Wu Wei Neng, Chief Executive Officer of CIG, and included governance experts Professor Adam Graycar and Professor Soh Kee Hean, as well as CIG’s Director of Global Partnerships, Mr. Nicholas Yee.

Over the course of the week-long mission, CIG engaged in in-depth consultations with the ACC and a wide range of Bhutan’s justice and governance institutions.

During the visit, the CIG delegation also had the honour of meeting His Excellency the Prime Minister of Bhutan, who reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to good governance and zero tolerance for corruption.

Bhutan’s consistent performance in global integrity indices and its aspiration to achieve Developed Nation status by 2034 underscore the importance of embedding good governance across sectors.


These sessions provided CIG with a deeper understanding of Bhutan’s current anti-corruption architecture, institutional strengths, and emerging priorities.


We look forward to deepening our partnership and supporting Bhutan’s continued journey of national transformation.
