These skills are essential for modern workplaces, enabling efficient information management, collaboration, and access to services—empowering individuals to participate fully in a technology-driven society.

Digital Literacy

Digital literacy is the ability to use digital tools and technologies effectively and safely. It includes navigating the internet, understanding online privacy, communicating through digital platforms, and evaluating information critically. Digital literacy empowers individuals to participate fully in modern society, work efficiently, and access essential services online.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity and Digital Risk Management involve the protection of digital systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage, while also identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with digital technologies. These practices are essential for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information in an increasingly connected world.


Why Capacity Building

Legal basis: IX Constitutional Government mandate—Article 2.8 concerning ICT and Article 6.7 concerning e-Government.

Civil Servant Capacity Building is crucial for strengthening public administration and delivering effective public services. In Timor-Leste, the IX Constitutional Government, through its Five-Year Program, has made Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-(point 2.8) and e-Government-(point 6.7) central pillars of our national development in the field of technology. This strategic commitment reflects our belief that digital technologies are vital for modernizing public services, improving transparency, and promoting inclusive economic growth.
To ensure the sustainability of technological adoption in Timor-Leste’s national development, the Government has launched a comprehensive capacity-building program as part of its broader digital transformation agenda. This program targets all civil servants, directors, and public sector leaders, aiming to equip them with essential digital skills and foundational knowledge in emerging technologies. Importantly, the initiative also introduces the early stages of Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption within the public service system, fostering an environment for innovation and smarter governance.
