Historique
With national elections in Timor-Leste held in 2012, formation of the new government and UNMIT’s mandate ending at the end of 2012, UNDP has taken steps to assume larger roles and responsibilities in supporting capacity development of national police services. The project Strengthening National Police Capacity in Timor-Leste, initiated in 2011, was intended to develop capacities of the Timorese National Police (PNTL) to deliver quality police services to the population of Timor-Leste following resumption of executive policing over the national territory, and to maintain stability during the potentially sensitive period of the 2012 national elections and UNMIT draw-down.
The current project is about supporting capacity development of the PNTL in post-UNMIT environment. It provided a platform for increasing UNDP’s engagement on policing in 2013 and 2014 in collaboration with other UN entities and bilateral actors present in the country. UNDP’s assistance will focus on strategic planning, database management, HRM and assets management and administration.
