BCSA 2.0
The Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has officially launched the BCCI Committee of Sector Association (BCSA) 2.0. Originally established in 11th December, 2018, the committee had become dormant following the expiration of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2021. This revival initiative aims to reinvigorate collaboration among the secretariats of sector associations affiliated with the BCCI, providing a dynamic platform to collectively address critical challenges and concerns that impede the growth and development of Bhutan’s private sector.
The BCSA 2.0 was launched with the formal signing of MoU between the Secretary General of the BCCI and the General Secretary/ Executive Director (s) of the affiliated sector associations. During the launch event, members also endorsed the schedule for the first BCSA 2.0 meeting, which will now convene quarterly every year. The BCSA 2.0 consists of Nineen (19) Sector Associations.
Furthermore, the forum will function as a technical advisory body to the Executive Committee (EC) of the BCCI, offering strategic insights and guidance on matters impacting the private sector.
