Background
The Government of Timor-Leste, with the budget support of EU {EUR 11.25 Million), has launched a national programme on Deconcentration and Decentralization called "Supporting Programme to Deconcentration and Decentralisation process in Timor-Leste {SPDD-TL)." The project is in line with the UNSDCF 2021-2025 (Outcome 5) and UNDP country programme, which support governance reforms, decentralization, provision of services and local economic development, livelihoods and the enhancement of public participation and particularly the role of women, young people, people with disabilities, and others left behind, in decision making at all level.
The project will complement UNDP's work on Governance, particularly in the areas of parliament, election, access to justice of rural poor and vulnerable groups. It will furthermore contribute to reinforce the peace dividends of Timor-Leste by strengthening the state-citizen relationship, especially of those left behind.
