WPS (UNSDCF Outcome 5) By 2025, the most excluded people of Timor-Leste are empowered to claim their rights, including freedom from violence, through accessible, accountable and gender responsive governance systems, institutions and services at national and subnational levels
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.

In comparison to one of the most recent national elections – the Parliamentary Election in 2018 , the voter turnout of women increased from 308,288 to 322,482 in the Presidential Election in 2022. With the generous support from the Government of Japan and the UNDP, UN Women’s programme interventions in this project, which include 16 capacity development workshops targeting emerging women and men leaders in the community level, as well as current leaders in the local governance structure including Suco Chief and Aldeia Chief from 8 municipalities, have resulted in the change of attitude amongst the participants towards women’s participation in leadership and decision-making roles. The programme also promoted an increase of knowledge amongst training participants and general public around how to participate in different levels of elections as voters and as candidates through workshops and theater shows. This contributes to the increase of voter turn-out of women in the Presidential Elections and increased motivation of women (voters) to participate in other elections in the next few years in general. Some participants shared that after the workshops they were motivated to take actions to encourage and mobilize other women in their communities to take part in elections at national and sub-national levels. Meanwhile, some leaders from the target sucos and aldeias shared that after the training they would reach out and communicate election information with the local communities, and target women voters in the outreach, as well as disseminate information on how to participate in the Presidential Election as voters. This contributes as a segment of a larger effort of the Government, international development partners and civil society to promote the increase of women voter turn-out in the Presidential Election and other elections in Timor-Leste in the coming years. Additionally, 250 current and emerging women leaders who participated in the training and dialogues have increased knowledge on equal rights of women and men in participating in elections at national and sub-national levels as voters and candidates, including Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, and Municipality and Suco Elections, as well as the processes of participating in elections. Additionally, UN Women Timor-Leste has been providing substantial technical support to Ministry of Interior’s National Directorate on Community Conflict Prevention (DNPCC) to promote gender-responsive community conflict prevention and resolution through the dialogue and mediation efforts across all municipalities. 40 mediators (19 women; 21 men) and 11 coordinators (11 men) trained by UN Women supported prevention and resolution of community conflicts through dialogues and mediation, and integrated gender perspectives in the processes to address gender discriminatory attitudes and stereotyped behaviors towards women. The DNPCC has been promoting women's participation as mediators, and the number of women mediators increased from 15% in 2016 to 46% to 2022. Furthermore, the DNPCC has improved capacity in facilitating large-scale community dialogues, security meetings and 'Palku Dame' with all the ethnic leaders, youth leaders and martial arts leaders to discuss and seek solutions for peace.Disclaimer and notes
