Cardno Emerging Markets supports the implementation of the Governance for Development (GfD) Transition Program on behalf of the Australian Government.
The objective of the GfD Transition Program is to support the Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) to achieve sustainable economic and human development as detailed in its Strategic Development Plan (SDP) 2011-2030. The Program supports the development of fiscal and economic frameworks that aim to deliver sustainable government finances, promote economic growth and meet social needs.
To achieve its development targets, Timor-Leste is striving to improve the performance of its government agencies. The core work under GfD is with central agencies to improve policy development and systems that are most important to economic management and service delivery. The key agencies that GfD supports are:
- Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), including Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit (UPMA) and TIC Timor
- Ministry for the Coordination of Economic Affairs (MCAE)
- Civil Service Commission (CSC)
- Ministry of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM)
- Selected Line Ministries and Autonomous Agencies, including SEFOPE, SERVE and AACTL
In addition to technical support to government agencies, GfD has a number of grants with partner organisations (multilaterals, Australian and local), for research, inclusion of other voices in public policy and additional reform-specific work. Some grants are managed by Cardno and some are managed directly by the Australian Embassy. The GfD Program’s strategy and government engagement is led by the Australian Embassy in Dili, with support from Cardno. GfD Program implementation is managed by Cardno.
