UN Women in Timor-Leste (UNWTL) promotes women’s rights and gender equality through evidence-based programming, policy support, and advocacy. Its programming is linked to three key national and two corporate priorities: enhancing women’s economic empowerment (WEE), engaging women in all aspects of peace and security processes (WPS), supported by Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting (GRPB) and EVAW programming. The country programme focuses on enhancing representation and participation in key political and national processes and key sectors. UNWTL also coordinates and promotes the UN system’s joint work in advancing gender equality through EU-UN Spotlight Initiative (SI) and KOICA-UN Together for Equality (T4E) amounting to USD 11 million. Embedded technical support is provided to strengthen the national gender machinery and to support the reporting on key normative instruments like CEDAW and NAP 1325. To enable its work, the office is consistently expanding its partnerships with feminist CSOs.
