Timor Leste has taken responsibility for its peacebuilding journey. It also took over the publicly explored solutions to address unresolved issues in the spirit of South-South cooperation.
Moreover, the country also owned the triangular collaboration and shared its lessons learned and best practices.
Timor-Leste enacted a Strategic Development Plan for the years 2011–2030 that outlined the nation’s priorities. These included growing social capital, infrastructure, institutions, and the economy.
It remains a significant challenge for Timor-Leste to strengthen its economic basis to provide the groundwork for a sustainable, thriving, and resilient economy, notably through economic diversification.
Furthermore, Timor-Leste can benefit from the experiences of others by sharing the lessons it has learned from implementing its own “Economic Recovery Plan.”
This plan was created as a short-term and long-term response to deal with the effects of Covid-19. It also dealt with the economic downturn, and promote human capital development and economic diversification.
In addition, it empowered people by providing access to high-quality education and supporting emerging local businesses to reduce reliance on oil. Timor-Leste could also benefit from lessons learned from approaches tried out by other nations in this field.
