Parliamentary adviser positions in Timor-Leste
The UNDP has several vacancies for Advisors to the Parliament of Timor-Leste.
Timor-Leste became independent in 2002. A democratic semi-presidential governance system based upon the separation of powers and mutual cooperation of the institutions of state was developed.
The National Parliament was established from scratch in a setting of inexperienced parliamentarians; an acute shortage of skilled personnel and significant language barriers. Achievements are not yet consolidated and many challenges can only be defeated with long-term assistance. UNDP has supported the growth of the legislature since 2003. A revised Parliament Project 2006-09 has been approved. A new set of comprehensive capacity-development interventions will be implemented in five strategic areas: oversight capacity; legislative support; democratic representation; gender mainstreaming and; Secretariat capacity building. The overall objective of the project is to develop the institutional capacities that allow the parliament to fully and effectively perform its constitutional mandate.
