| Summary: | Strengthening the role of women and
promoting gender equality are key priorities for the
Timor-Leste government and essential for achieving the World
Bank’s twin goals of eradicating extreme poverty and
sustainably boosting shared prosperity. The Timor-Leste
Country Gender Action Plan (CGAP) provides a framework for
addressing gender barriers and priorities through the World
Bank Timor-Leste portfolio. The CGAP aims to contribute to
the government of Timor-Leste’s (GOTL) development and
gender equality goals by reducing gaps between men and
women, and promoting human capital development and economic
opportunities. It provides a framework to support the World
Bank country team in ensuring that barriers to gender
equality are effectively assessed, tracked, and targeted
through its operations and advisory support. The CGAP is
divided into seven chapters. Following the introduction and
background, Chapter 4 provides an updated gender diagnostic
to highlight key gender gaps in Timor-Leste across three key
domains (endowments, economic opportunities, and voice and
agency). Chapter 5 and 6 outline the government’s and the
World Bank’s priorities and commitments to gender in
Timor-Leste. Chapter 7 provides a framework for the CGAP and
WBG engagement aimed at strengthening the integration of
gender across the Timor-Leste country office’s operational
portfolio, analytical products, policy, and advisory work.
It also provides institutional and operational targets, with
the overall goal of creating an accountable and enabling
environment for achieving greater gender equality in outputs
and outcomes. |
