| Overview : The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, working in 177 countries and territories. In Timor-Leste, UNDP provides technical advice and assistance to build strong and capable public institutions at national and sub-national levels in justice, parliament, human rights, anti-corruption, police, economic development, environmental management and disaster risk management that bring development, peace and justice to the population and reach out to the poor and vulnerable sections of society.
In 2010, the Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) published its Strategic Development Plan (SDP, 2011-2030), which sets out an agenda for the country’s plan of development action. The Strategic Development Plan 2011-2030 commits Timor-Leste to developing a National Adaption Program of Action (NAPA) of national priorities that addresses climate change adaption (CCA) and monitor the implementation of adaptation measures. The NAPA seeks to build community awareness, increase monitoring and risk forecasting and support the adaptation of government policies and strategies to improve climate change resilience among vulnerable groups. The NAPA objectives are embedded within the SDP, thereby becoming integral with the Government’s vision for the future development of the country. One of the national development targets for 2020 is that “70% of National Adaptation Programmes of Action under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change will have been implemented”. UNDP is assisting in the formulation and implementation of projects supporting NAPA priorities, as the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Implementing Agency (IA) administering the Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF). A UNDP team is working to fulfill the NAPA commitments under a series of projects, including the strengthening of coastal community resilience through the introduction of nature-based approaches to coastal protection. |
