As a consequence of revised citizenship laws enacted by the Government of Bhutan in
the 1980s, Bhutanese asylum seekers fled to Nepal in the early 1990s. The Bhutanese
refugees are the decedents of Nepalese people that migrated to Bhutan between the
1870s and 1940s. In 1985, after the renouncement of earlier citizenship laws granted to
this group of people, they were forced to leave Bhutan.
This document has been prepared in consultation with the Government, UNHCR and
other stakeholders, including the beneficiaries’ representatives. The proposed
programmes build on WFP’s previous operations, lessons learned from the monitoring
activities, the recommendations of the JAM 2012 and 2014, market assessments done
in 2012 and 2014, and a nutrition survey carried out in 2013.
