Maliana, 29 October 2018: Implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Ministry of State Administration (MSA), a new KOICA-funded initiative ‘Supporting Decentralization of Public Administration through Effective Delivery of Public Services at Municipal Level’ will support two municipalities – the Municipality of Baucau and Bobonaro – to improve their efficiency in delivering public services through establishing a multilevel and multi-actor platform in which all local actors and stakeholders, including women and youth, will be involved throughout the process

The project document was signed today in Maliana by UNDP, Ministry of State Administration, Municipality of Baucau and Municipality of Bobonaro, observed by representatives of KOICA and UNDP

UNDP-MSA partnership has started since the initiation of the decentralisation process in Timor-Leste, technically supporting the local development agenda through establishing bottom-up decision-making processes, while building capacities among civil servants and other local actors

UNDP Country Director Mr. Claudio Providas says: “With the support of KOICA, and through this project, UNDP will capitalize on its previous practices and will continue to support the decentralization process of public administration, supporting the Ministry of State Administration and the Municipalities of Bobonaro and Baucau in their commitment to guarantee effective delivery of public services.

The Vice-Minister of the Ministry of State Administration Mr. Abilio Caetano says: “This project will support the Municipalities of Baucau and Bobonaro to have stronger Municipal Strategic Plans using participatory methodology. The Strategic Plans will help the public servants to move from reactive planning, which means to respond to an existing need or urgency, to strategic planning. Strategic thinking is key in our society. We need to be ahead of the needs of our people to avoid human suffering.

The Country Director of KOICA in Timor-Leste Mr. Sikhyon Kim says “Institutional strengthening in decentralization will be highlighted in the form of capacity building of municipal government through the dispatch of facilitators responsible for organizing the working group, the selection of priority development project and monitoring and evaluation.

In line with the approved laws and decrees in support of the decentralisation process, the Government of Timor-Leste shows a steady commitment to deliver quality public services and continue to improve the efficiency, accountability and transparency of its public administration. Building capacities among civil servants and other local actors is crucial for guaranteeing sustainable and effective results in the short- and long-term run

The planned activities for the project include the establishment of a multilevel and multi-sectorial Working Group that will involve all the multiple actors in the territory. The establishment of a such Working Group will not only build the capacity of civil servants to improve the efficiency in the provision of public services but also improve the coordination and cooperation among all present actors, avoiding duplication of investments as well as guaranteeing long-term sustainability of the projects that are being implemented.
