READ Global was inspired by a simple wish from a Nepalese trekking guide: to have a library for his village. Listening to the request of her travel companion twenty years ago, Dr. Antonia “Toni” Neubauer, a former language teacher and education researcher, understood the incredible value access to books and information could offer a community. She had traveled throughout Asia for decades with her adventure travel company Myths and Mountains, acclaimed by National Geographic Adventure and Travel & Leisure. Embracing the opportunity to give back to a part of the world that had filled her with so much joy during three decades of traveling to rural Asia, Toni harnessed her resources and founded Rural Education and Development (READ) in 1991 in Nepal.

UNDP started its assistance programme in Bhutan in 1973, although its office was established only in 1979. In Bhutan, the foundation of UNDP’s work is to ensure that progress is based on people – on their needs, their efforts and their rights. The Standard Basic Assistance Agreement (SBAA), which the Royal Government of Bhutan and UNDP signed on 14 July 1978 governs UNDP assistance to the country. UNDP mobilizes and coordinates support from other partners and pilots new solutions that can be replicated. UNDP offers a global network from where Bhutan draws upon for ideas and resources. The GNH Commission which is the main coordinating agency for aid coordination in the country including the formulation of national development plans, policies and programmes is the national collaborating partner for the UN/UNDP in Bhutan.
