Background |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PROJECT TITLE: Institutional Development of Oe-Cusse Special Administrative Region and Special Zones of Social Market Economy (ZEESM) PROJECT DESCRIPTION Timor-Leste has been making steady progress towards socio-economic growth, but challenges abound. The Government has articulated its developmental vision through a National Development Strategy, demonstrated clear political commitment to social protection and is embarking on a range of governance and public finance reforms. However, a high poverty rate (almost 50%), double digit inflation especially food inflation that directly impacts the poor, high dependency rates resulting from the demographic profile, high youth unemployment and institutional structures and systems that need to be strengthened present challenges to development. These challenges are visible in Oe-Cusse district, an enclave nestled within the Western Timor province of Indonesia and with an estimated population of 70,000. Oe-Cusse’s developmental challenges are deepened due to its geographical location, weak and very basic institutional base and low public investments in services, making efficient governance difficult at best. The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste (RDTL) accords a special status to Oe-Cusse, stating that it shall be ‘governed by a special administrative policy and economic regime’ (Article 71, Clause 2) and a law was passed by the National Parliament in 2014, establishing the Authority of the Special Administrative Region of Oe-Cusse Ambeno and the Special Zones of Social Market Economy (ZEESM). UNDP has been providing policy advice to the Special Zones for Social Market Economy (ZEESM) Office since its establishment and has developed a program to help the Authority and ZEESM conceive, establish and operationalize institutional and developmental structures and systems in Oe-Cusse. The frame work for UNDP’s support to the Oe-Cusse Authority and ZEESM is built around two components: (i) governance and (ii) sustainable and innovative development. The proposed assistance is aligned with the priorities of the Fifth Constitutional Government as articulated under Timor-Leste Strategic Development Plan 2011-2030 to establish special zones of social market economy to transform the lives of the people of Oe-Cusse with an integrated approach to sustainable, social and economic development. A key area under the governance component is to development of the Regional Development Plan. To this end, services of an international Regional Planning Specialist are required. The Specialist will work under the overall guidance and direction of the President of the Authority and the day to day supervision of the Programme Manager of UNDP ZEESM TL project.
