UN Timor-Leste Annual Report 2023
As we present the UN Timor-Leste Annual Report 2023-24, it is with a profound sense of responsibility and a deep commitment to the transformative journey embarked upon by the Government of Timor-Leste, in partnership with the United Nations System. This document serves not just as a record of the year’s endeavours but as a testament to the collaborative efforts aimed at fostering sustainable development, enhancing social protection, and ensuring environmental and economic sustainability within the vibrant island nation of Timor-Leste.
The United Nations in Timor-Leste has been pivotal in supporting the nation’s developmental journey through a comprehensive and collaborative approach. In 2023, amidst a backdrop of political transition and global economic uncertainties, the UN Country Team (UNCT) and its partners, under the leadership of the Resident Coordiantor have significantly contributed to the country’s efforts in recovery, resilience-building, and sustainable development. The successful review and presentation of the Timor-Leste 2nd Voluntary National Review (VNR) have showcased a forward-looking approach towards sustainable development, with a significant emphasis on youth engagement and envisioning a future benchmarked against the SDGs.
