A.POST DETAILS

B.PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The ‘Timor-Leste National Police – Strengthening Governance and Service Delivery’ project builds on previous support to key PNTL managerial and administration functions by supporting systemic changes at the central level and ensuring this translates into delivering tangible results at the local level.

To enable the key National Police administration departments improve their governance and service delivery role, the project will strengthen the capacity of the national police to manage human, financial, logistical and ICT resources, along with improving transparency and community engagement.

Key components of finance, legal services, internal audit and inspection, and gender have been included in this reformulated project, in order to strengthen key PNTL governance functions. This will allow for improvements in capacity to be monitored and reported on and to facilitate compliance with existing legislation and development of a legal framework. Legal services will be phased in subject to establishing agreements on how PNTL legal services will complement those provided at the Ministry of Interior level. A service delivery output targeting district level will ensure a community level focus, particularly in the priority area of service delivery to victims of gender based violence.
