In June 2017, the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on working together for the enhancement of mountain livelihoods and development enterprise, extending their mutual agreement for five more years.
Through this MoU, BCCI and ICIMOD agree to foster mutual interest to benefit mountain livelihoods and enterprise development in Bhutan and other ICIMOD member countries through mutual collaboration. BCCI and ICIMOD firmly believe that private sector initiatives plays a crucial role in developing sustainable and improved livelihoods through knowledge and regional cooperation.
