Abstract
Realizing the gap in Timor-Leste’s national and local disaster risk management systems, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the National Disaster Management Directorate (NDMD) of the Government of Timor-Leste have launched a project entitled “Strengthening Disaster Risk Management in Timor-Leste” to be implemented between 2011 and 2013. The overall objective of the project is to develop disaster risk management capacity at the national and district levels. The key priority defined under the scope of this project is to undertake a national multi-hazard vulnerability and risk assessment to understand the disaster risk in Timor-Leste.
