In-depth 

Inclusive and Sustainable Growth consolidates the cooperation flamework in which UNDP Timor-Leste prioritizes creating economic opportunities and decent work for all, enhancing resilience to climate change and sustainable management of resources, and moving forwards accessible, accountable and gender-responsive governance systems, institutions, and services at the national and municipal levels.

UNDP’s initiatives together with the Government of Timor-Leste aim to strengthen and diversify livelihoods to reduce vulnerability to poverty, promote jobs in the green/blue and circular economies, and increase the resilience of communities to cope with climate, health, and economic shocks. While, securing accessible, accountable, and gender-responsive governance systems, institutions, and services is also necessary to tackle the challenges of SDGs as a whole society.

Our endeavors towards Inclusive and Sustainable Growth will be also promoted by improving twenty-first-century skills, competencies, networks, and digital capacities among young men and women which improve their employability while protecting small and micro-enterprises. 

There are four major development areas under Inclusive and Sustainable Growth:

• Economic Transformation
• Sustainable Development and Resilience
• Accountable Governance
• Gender Equality
