2030 TIMOR-LESTE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2011 - 2030 FOREWORD FROM THE PRESIDENT It is with particular pleasure that, after our long struggle for independence and almost a decade building our sovereign State, I am now in a position to write a foreword for a 20 year plan to develop our nation of Timor-Leste. ll Timorese should be proud not only of achieving our independence but also of the advancements we have made as a nation in such a short period. Unfortunately, it is common for countries emerging Afrom conflict and fragility to take decades to achieve stability and sustained progress. Regrettably, many nations of the world, even after years of independence, still experience unrest, violence and disunity. Timor-Leste has also faced obstacles in our short history as a nation and we have lived through periods of strife. But as a nation and as a people we have made a shared commitment to peace and, in a spirit of national solidarity, we are moving together to develop our nation and secure our future. We are consolidating our democratic governance and building our State from the ground up. We are laying down a strong foundation for ongoing stability and security, and we are working hard to create new opportunities for all our people. We still face enormous challenges and problems that must remain at the forefront of our thinking and our planning. Many of our people suffer every day from poverty and miserable living conditions. The results of the 2010 census demonstrate that throughout Timor-Leste people experience extreme disadvantage and deprivation. From health care and nutrition to education and housing; from clean water and proper sanitation to basic infrastructure, including roads, communications and power, many of our people do not enjoy even basic services and decent living conditions. The Strategic Development Plan seeks to address these challenges and make a positive and lasting difference in the daily lives and living conditions of our people. The Plan provides a guide for our development and for sharing the benefits of this development across our nation. It follows an unprecedented period of development, including five months of consultations by the Prime Minister, Xanana Gusmão, throughout the 65 sub-districts of our nation. The Strategic Development Plan also reflects extensive work and strategic thinking carried out across all industry sectors and ministries and, importantly, the coming together of this work in a coordinated and shared vision for our future. It can truly be said that many, many thousands of people participated and contributed to this Plan: from young people in the remotest of areas to our elders; from our farmers to our civil servants; as well as people from all aspects of civil society. The voices of Timorese women are heard in this Plan, as are the voices of people living in small villages, district centres and our capital, Dili. In this sense, the Plan itself is a demonstration of our unity and of the commitment of all Timorese people to our future prosperity. The preparation of the Strategic Development Plan was led by our people, it is owned by our people, and it reflects the aspirations of our people. 7 TIMOR-LESTESDP 2011-2013 STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2011 - 2030 PART 1: INTRODUCTION Perhaps most significantly, the Plan will ultimately be implemented by our people. With its strong focus on education, the Plan will build our skills and capacity to take full control of our economic development, creating opportunities for young Timorese. The Strategic Development Plan builds on Timor-Leste 2020, Our Nation Our Future, the five year National Development Plan 2002 and the good work of previous governments, and provides a framework to achieve our vision in the context of our current national circumstances. The Strategic Development Plan is not a political document, it belongs to us all. It is a sustainable and long-term plan that provides us with the direction, both now and in the future, to transform our nation and to benchmark our progress. The Strategic Development Plan sets out an ambitious agenda, but it is one that reflects the will of our people, an understanding of our history and culture and our determination to have ownership and control of our development path. It provides certainty and focus for our development endeavour. By providing an overview of the state of each of our sectors and setting detailed strategies and actions to achieve our vision, this Plan provides a guide for us all. The Strategic Development Plan will also promote our continued integration with the global community and our social and economic relationships with East Asia in this ‘Asian century’. It will support our consolidation as a vibrant democracy and help us to become a development model for fragile States. Some may say we are too ambitious, that some of our targets are unachievable.
