This outcome will capture the global move toward strengthened localized WPS capacities which intersect with disaster preparedness and response, recognizing the disaster risks and climate change issues in TL. It will generate a critical mass of emerging youth and women leaders ready to lead, connected via networks at local levels to drive change. The CO will also expand its innovative work in strengthening gender-responsive conflict prevention and response mechanisms via female and male community mediators that can make peace more durable and strengthen the resilience of communities in the face of new threats.

The national mediation machinery i.e. National Directorate for Community Conflict Prevention (DNPCC) of Ministry of Interior in the country showe increased capacity in 2023. .DNPCC mediators resolved 164 cases in 2023 (out of 313 cases registered – 52.3% of cases resolved) as compared to 146 cases in 2022 (out of 319 cases registered – 45.8% of cases resolved) in multiple areas, including land & property disputes, martial arts issues, social conflict, and disputes over natural resources. The number of women national mediators in DNPCC increased from 32% of 31 mediators in 2019 to 47% of 40 mediators in 2023, reaching towards gender parity. Timor-Leste has a dual justice system – both customary and non-customary Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The ADR is still a popular means to resolve community disputes primarily because of the structural barriers in accessing formal justice system, including time concern, language barrier, geographical accessibility and long distance to travel to courts and the expense associated. Through UN Women’s technical support, the first National Mediation Network of Timor-Leste (“Rede Nasionál Mediasaun”) was officially established on 31 July 2023. Contributing to the Participation and Prevention Pillars under the National Action Plan on the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (NAP 1325), the Network promotes participation and representation of women in all aspects of mediation and negotiation, and other peacebuilding processes of the country. UN Women in partnership with DPNCC also developed the Gender Responsive Mediation Guideline and the Case Management System, to build capacity of DPNCC in providing gender-responsive state-facilitated mediation services to local communities and promote improved access to justice for all through mediation, particularly rural women. The mediators were provided training “Transformative Leadership for Gender Equality” to develop skills and knowledge of understanding needs and challenges of women and girls in accessing justice, and to proactively address gender discrimination and stereotyped behaviors towards women in the ADR processes. The enhanced capabilities and achievements of the DNPCC in 2023, with UN Women’s support, has played a significant role in contributing to the SDG 16. “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”, specifically Target 16.3 “Promote the rule of law at the national and international levels and ensure equal access to justice for all”, as well as the UNSDCF Outcome 5 (Sub-Outcome 5.1: Rule of law and access to justice).Disclaimer and notes
