Achieving sustainable development through enhanced broadband connectivity in Asia-Pacific least developed countries

PORT VILA – Representatives from the Asia-Pacific least developed countries (LDCs) are meeting today in Vanuatu to share best practices and lessons learned on their respective efforts in implementing broadband connectivity and information and communication technologies.

The two day meeting is being convened by the Government of Vanuatu and the UN Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS). In recognising the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships to achieve broadband connectivity, the meeting brings together LDCs, private sector, development partners, multi-lateral institutions and academics to discuss effective solutions to close the digital divide many of these countries face.

The discussions are also expected to draw linkages with national, regional and global efforts to implement the Istanbul Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries (IPoA), the SAMOA Pathway for Small Island Developing States and the Sustainable Development Goals. 

“If these countries are to end extreme poverty, tackle hunger, improve health and education, build resilient infrastructure, create livelihoods and address major challenges like climate change, broadband connectivity and ICTs are critically important to achieve the sustainable development aspirations of LDCs,” said Ms. Fekitamoeloa ‘Utoikamanu, High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States.

“As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, there should be no reason for the Least Developed Countries to be left behind. If we are to successfully plug the digital divide, partnerships will be critical to accelerate our progress in fully participating in the global knowledge economy,” said Hon.

Leignkone Tao Bruno, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Vanuatu. Globally, 3.9 billion people, constituting more than half the world’s total population, are still offline and a significant proportion of these people live in LDCs. While progress is being made in improving access to internet and mobile telephony, for the most part access remains low in this group of countries. Broadband penetration in the LDCs is much lower relative to other developing countries and especially low compared to developed countries.

In 2016, the percentage of fixed and mobile broadband subscriptions in LDCs represented only 0.8 per cent and 19.4 per cent, respectively. On the other hand, in developed countries, fixed and mobile broadband subscriptions were about 30.1 and 90.3 per cent, respectively. Investing in broadband can lead to among others: employment creation in sectors that are likely to be using ICT in a transformative way such as finance, education and healthcare; increased innovation and productivity; disaster risk reduction and resilience building; and better governance. Therefore, investing in broadband would contribute towards meeting some of the IPoA priorities and Sustainable Development Goal 9.c. which calls for significantly increasing access to information and communications technology and providing universal and affordable access to the Internet in LDCs by 2020.

The minority government program rejected

By Raimundos Oki

DILI,  Timor – Leste - The majority alliance parliamentary has been rejected the minority government policy program which presented by the prime minister Mari Alkatiri. 

Following this voting, Alkatiri stated that this repudiation motion was like a poison to his government and promised that he will go to all municipalities to explain to everyone.

“I will start from Oe - Kusi to Lautem. But this is does not mean I have to resign. I still obey to the constitution until January 2018 as prime minister of minority government,"  Alkatiri said in the national parliament on Thursday, October 19, 2017.

"I will not bring another new government program to the national parliament".

“In this weekend I will go to the base with this document to conduct a referendum to all the people in the country. No one forbids me”.

He added: “I am a party leader; my obligation is to explain to the public about what has happened in this parliament”.

“During the debate process, I have answered all the questions from the opposition, but their eyes do not want to see anymore, their ears do not hear anymore”.

“Therefore, I ask to the beloved people in this country to remain calm to accompany this process. We just started. Not yet final. Drink  you tea, drink your coffee, because this process is just starting”.

The majority parliamentary alliance in the national parliament rejected the minority government programs.

“Reiterating the understanding that although it is an unconstitutional act, the appointment of a minority government is politically senseless and reckless, so the president of the republic should have sought solutions,” stated the rejection document which presented from the parliamentary majority alliance to national parliament today.

The majority alliance parliamentary rejected the program based on Timor – Leste constitution in article 109 stated that Rejection of the program of the Government shall require an absolute majority of the Members in full exercise of their functions.

The political statement from the CNRT fraction rode by Terezinha Viegas that their faction has received a government program since October 10, 2017. And has read all the contents of this document that the minority government will not guarantee the stability of government and will ultimately not achieve success.

“If this government does not get support from the opposition, government programs and state budgets will not succeed in parliament. And this is who will be guilty, who will be responsible. The President of the Republic must be responsible,” she said.

She added, the decision of the president of the republic to vote FRETILIN party and the democratic party that leads this government is not wise.

According to the democratic rules that the minority must submit to the majority.

CNRT party will not let any political party to make violation against the constitution.

“We note that this program is not based on the reality in the country. We do not see this program can solve the problem in the country,” she said.

Therefore, we do not believe that this program may solved the current problem in Timor – Leste.

At the same time, Fidelis Magelhaes, chairman of the People Liberation Party (PLP) faction stated that since the beginning the president of the republic wants to establish a stable and strong government, but the present government is a minority.

The PLP is also part of a parliamentary majority alliance established on 12 October 2017. The alliance consists of three opposition parties in parliament: the CNRT, PLP and KHUNTO parties with a total seat of 35 and the government has only 30 seats.

"We see that this program has no new priorities. We see that it really should not happen like this. The program also is too general, there are many agreements but no valid data to use. We do not know what the government will do and what to achieve.

Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri continues to defend his program that this program is very good  and will bring development to the community.

The prime minister Mari Alkatiri has brought his program to the national parliament on Monday and during three days the oposition always declare that they will not approve his program. 

During this time, the prime minister Mari Alkatiri and the republican president Francisco Guterres Lu - Olo said that if the government program is rejected it will be held a re-election.

Previously, Fretilin was part of a national unity government with the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction party of independence hero Xanana Gusmão, or CNRT. In the July election, CNRT lost support and Fretilin was narrowly the largest party, but they failed to agree on a new grand coalition.

East Timor, a former colony of Portugal, was occupied by Indonesia for a quarter century and gained independence after a U.N.-sponsored referendum in 1999. Indonesia's military responded to the independence referendum with scorched earth attacks that devastated the East Timorese half of the island of Timor.

Today, the country of 1.3 million people still faces desperate poverty. Leaders have focused on big-ticket infrastructure projects to develop the economy, funding them from a dwindling fund of former oil riches, but progress is slow.

The July vote was East Timor's first parliamentary election without U.N. supervision since peacekeepers left in 2012.

A version of this article appears in The Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post website on October 19th, 2017, with the headline: East Timor Government Suffers Defeat in Parliamentary Vote.
