The purpose of the UNESCO Country Strategy (UCS) document is

to improve UNESCO’s efficiency and performance at the country or

regional level. UNESCO interventions in the countries rely on the four key

cooperation principles: a) ownership by the Member States and alignment

with national plans while fostering implementation of the 2030 Agenda

and other main global agreements; b) effective and efficient support to

the national priorities within UNESCO’s C/4 and C/5, c) flexibility and d)

cooperative work with other UN agencies and development stakeholders.

Since UNESCO Jakarta has a double role as a Science Bureau for Asia

and the Pacific and as a Cluster Office, where as Cluster Office, UNESCO

Jakarta works cover all UNESCO mandates: education, sciences, culture,

communication and information for programmes in Brunei Darussalam,

Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste, we have published

one UCS for each country.

The UNESCO Country Strategy document for Brunei Darussalam is

designed as a tool for dialogue with stakeholders, donors and partners

at country level, in addition for the identification of prioritization of niche

areas where UNESCO’s interventions and assistance at country level can

be maximized while avoiding duplications. This UCS also highlights our

efforts to serve Brunei Darussalam with a focus on contributing to the

implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through targeted

actions on Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human Sciences,

Culture, and Communication and Information. We have been actively

involved to support our partners in Brunei Darussalam on SDGs 4, 5, 9

11, 13, 15, 16 and 17.

This UCS is a living document, which will be updated regularly to respond

to emerging challenges and opportunities.

UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples, based

upon respect for commonly shared values. It is through this dialogue that the world can achieve global

visions of sustainable development encompassing observance of human rights, mutual respect and the

alleviation of poverty, all of which are at the heart of UNESCO’S mission and activities.

The Asia-Pacific region counts for almost two thirds of the world’s population and gathers countries of great

diversity in economic, religious, political and cultural terms. This diversity, along with globalization and the

dynamism and rapid evolution of the region bear great challenges for governments and societies. In close

cooperation with governments, National Commissions and non-governmental partners, UNESCO Jakarta

works on fulfilling UNESCO’s mandate to contribute to peace and security in the world by promoting

collaboration among nations through education, science, culture and communication in order to further

universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which

are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the

Charter of the United Nations.

UNESCO office in Jakarta was established as a field office for South-East Asian Science Cooperation

(SEASCO) in 1951. In 1967 it became the Regional Office for Sciences and for South East Asia

(ROSTSEA).

UNESCO Jakarta has a double role as a Science Bureau for Asia and the Pacific and as a Cluster Office.

As Regional Bureau for Science, UNESCO Jakarta provides strategic expertise, advisory, monitoring

and evaluation functions to Member States, other UNESCO Field Offices and UN Country Teams in the

area of Science. It assumed the role of focal point for Timor-Leste in 2002. As Cluster Office, UNESCO

Jakarta covers all UNESCO mandates: education, sciences, culture, communication and information. It is

responsible for the implementation of related programmes in Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the

Philippines, and Timor Leste in all UNESCO fields of competence.

In the spirit of One UN and as part of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Indonesia, UNESCO

Jakarta works in synergy with the United Nations Sister Agencies to achieve the Sustainable Development

Goals in the Asia-Pacific region.

About UNESCO

In the 48 UNESCO Member States and 2 Associate Members of the Asia-Pacific, UNESCO is present with a network of 13 Field Offices comprising Cluster Offices, Country Offices and Regional Bureau.

The State of Brunei Darussalam is located in maritime Southeast Asia on the island of Borneo bordering

Malaysia. As it is located facing the South China Sea, Brunei Darussalam is prone to various disasters and

is heavily dependent on a nonrenewable resource for growth and stability.

The Tenth National Development Plan 2012-17 (NDP10) is the second medium-term development plan

under the national long-term development vision, known as Wawasan Brunei 2035, or Vision Brunei 2035.

Brunei Vision 2035, aims to transform Brunei Darussalam by 2035 as a nation widely recognized for the

accomplishment of its educated and highly skilled people; a quality of life that is among the top 10 nations

in the world; and a dynamic and sustainable economy with income per capita within the top 10 countries

in the world. It puts the emphasis firmly on “accelerating economic growth” through high productivity to

achieve the target of 6% average annual economic growth.

EDUCATIONThe long-term development vision for Brunei, set out in Wawasan Brunei 2035, makes education and

human capital development key priorities. The literacy rate is over 95%, and the gross enrolment rates

both at primary and secondary levels are over 100%. The needs for economic diversification, in order to

allow economic sustainability to be sustained, has made it imperative for the Ministry of Education to take

on reformation and restructuring efforts with respect to education policy, structure, curriculum, assessment

and qualifications, and professional development. The education system has been reformed steadily in

recent years in line with the National Education System for the 21st Century (SPN21), which aims to foster

the ability of students to meet the social and economic needs and challenges of the 21st century. The

scheme also promotes the use of ICT in schools, new monitoring systems and teaching methods, literacy

and numeracy programmes, teacher training and education infrastructure development programmes.

The Eight Policy Directions outlined in the Education Strategy of the Brunei Vision 2035, aimed to prepare

the youth for employment and achievement, are as follows: a) Investing in early childhood education, b)

Adopting international best practices in teaching and learning, c) Having first class secondary and tertiary

education, including vocational schools, that produce experts, professionals and technicians required in

commerce and industry, d) Strengthening competency in information and communications technology

(ICT) for students, teachers and educational administrators, including the integration of ICT in teaching and

learning, e) Devising programs that promote life-long learning and widening access to higher education,

f) Promoting research, development and innovation both in government-funded institutions and through

public-private and international partnerships, g) Adopting cost-effective methods of educating our people

through the use of technology and, h) Improving the management of all our educational institutions.8

Disaster Risk ReductionThough Brunei Darussalam is free from major natural disasters such as earthquake, volcanic eruptions and

typhoons, it experiences thunderstorms, monsoon flood, manmade disaster, landslides and forest fires/

hazes. Under the Security Strategy of NDP10, one of the strategy is to further develop appropriate systems

and organizations for responding quickly and effectively to threats from natural disasters, infectious

diseases, acts of terrorism and other emergencies. The government of Brunei Darussalam established

the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) under the Disaster Management Order (DMO), which

has the role of NDMC is to ensure safety and wellbeing of the people by encompassing all aspects of

disaster management i.e. prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery through policies,

strategies and practices implemented guided by the international, regional and national drivers.

Policy and Capacity BuildingScience, Technology and Innovation (STI) is highly prioritized within the tenth National Development

Plan (RKN10) as it is one of the seven factors within the first thrust of NDP10: “Educated and Highly

Skilled Population”. A special fund “Research and Development Fund” is allocated by the government

to encourage activities for shaping educated, highly skilled and innovative society. Within NDP10, six

projects and funds are proposed in order to strengthen and develop Science & Technology, Research

&Development and Innovation: a) Science, Technology and Innovation Research Fund, b) Study on Science

Promotion Centre, c) Feasibility Study on Central Research Laboratories, d) Science, Technology and

Innovation Research and Development, e) Equipment for Science, Technology and Innovation Research

and, f) Development Programme for Science and Technology. These projects are aligned with SDG 17.6

(enhance North-South, South-South and triangular regional and international access to STI) and 17.8

(innovation capacity building mechanism).

NDP10 is focusing on building human capacity at several levels to ensure nurturing up-to-date skilled

human resources with a)Human Resource Development (HRD) Fund and its programmes and academic

enhancement schemes, b) Technical and Vocational Education Scholarship Scheme at local private

institutions and c) Human Capacity Building Scheme in the Private Sector and Training and Employment

Scheme to enable academic and professional qualification upgrade in partnership with private sector.

These funds and projects align with SDG 17 target 9: 17.9 (enhance international support for implementing

effective and targeted capacity-building in developing countries).

Water and Environmental SciencesUnder Wawasan Brunei 2035, the environmental strategy focuses on proper conservation of the country’s

natural environment and cultural habitat, while also providing health and safety, whose measures include

effective solid waste management, pollution control as well as toxic and hazardous waste control. The

following sectors have been prioritised by Brunei Darussalam to take actions on for adapting to climate

change impacts: i. Biodiversity ii. Forestry iii. Coastal and flood protection iv. Health v. Agriculture vi.

Fisheries.

Brunei Darussalam will also continue to preserve its status as a country with the world’s most extensively

protected tropical rainforest by ensuring that corrective measures and rehabilitation of forests will continue

to be implemented. Currently 99.9% of the country has been supplied with clean water, and efforts toward

this direction are maintained to cater for the increasing population and industrial development. These

efforts include increasing the capacity of water resource management and water treatment, enhancing

the sustainability of water supply network, identifying new water catchment areas and encouraging

water conservation. The country is also keen to foster the development of high-quality and sustainable

infrastructure for the country, which include improving water supply, drainage and sewerage infrastructure,

as well as the provision of environmentally-friendly infrastructure, technology and services, including green

buildings. These priorities align with SDG 6, 7, 13, 14 and 15.

Communication and information is highly regulated in Brunei Darussalam. Small market size is one of the

challenges for development of a diverse pluralistic media landscape in Brunei Darussalam. The only local

broadcaster is Radio Television Brunei which is state owned. The Internet penetration rate is about 70%.

At the same time, Bruneians are among the highest user of social media in Southeast Asia.

Brunei Darussalam has one of the highest levels of GDP per capita in Southeast Asia. In line with NDP10,

the government has set out strategic development thrusts, which are significant in fostering development

of manufacturing and services sector: an environment conducive to business; an educated and highly

skilled population and a progressive, productive economy based on knowledge and innovation. As a

central concept of the 2030 Agenda and the foundation of its 17 SDGs, Social Inclusion is everybody’s

business – countries affluent and poor, governments big and small, the UN system and broader

development community, civil society and private sector. UNESCO, with its multidimensional mandate in

Social and Human Sciences, is pushing the frontiers of knowledge for better understanding and effective

application of Social Inclusion in public policy. In Brunei, UNESCO Jakarta Office will continue to use this

knowledge to build the capacity of the “community of practice” – governments, universities, civil society

– in inclusive public policy design. This will be accomplished through the projects designed to put into

practice the Analytical Framework for Inclusive Policy Design developed by UNESCO’s Management of

Social Transformations (MOST) programme, as well as other tools and methodologies from the academic

and research institutions around the world.


CULTURESince 17 March 2005 when it became one of its member states, Brunei has developed fruitful relations

with UNESCO in the field of Culture. Brunei ratified the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of

the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (2011) and the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the

Intangible Cultural Heritage (2011).

The strategic document Wawasan Brunei 2035 highlights the objectives related to culture: a) establishment

of guidelines for landmarks of cultural and historical value, b) accelerating the pace of social progress and

maintaining political stability and policy perspectives by considering culture as one of the main elements

for the quality of life and develop culture and arts to preserve and strengthen Brunei’s culture, heritage

and values, and, c) tourism, also an element contributing to a better quality of life, will instigate increase

of cultural and heritage events in conjunction with national celebrations. These strategic objectives are

in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially 8.9 and 12.b on sustainable

tourism that creates jobs and promotes local cultures and products, and goal 11.4, safeguard cultural

and natural heritage. They also answer UNESCO’s programmes/mid-term strategy in the field of culture,

especially 1. Protecting, promoting and transmitting heritage, which include world cultural heritage,

illicit trafficking, museums, underwater cultural heritage and histories and 2) Fostering creativity and the

diversity of cultural expressions which includes intangible heritage, creativity and cultural diversity.

Strategy 3: Strengthen International Relations through

Partnerships in Education “Ensure inclusive

and equitable quality education and promote

lifelong learning opportunities for all”

The global education agenda (Education

2030) is part of the 17 UN SDG) that make

up the Agenda 2030 for sustainable

development. The Global Goals and targets

aim to stimulate action over the next fifteen

years in the Five Ps of critical importance:

People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and

Partnership. The success of these goals is driven by the education goal. The SDGs reflect the important

role of education by encapsulating targets in a stand-alone goal (Goal 4).

Education is also included in goals on health, growth and employment, sustainable consumption and

production, and climate change. The Incheon Declaration, which constitutes the commitment of the

education community to Education 2030, entrusts UNESCO to lead, coordinate and be the focal point for

education within the overall SDG coordination. The Education 2030 Framework for Action outlines how

to translate into practice the commitments made at Incheon at country, regional and global level and

provides guidance for implementing Education 2030.

UNESCO Office in Jakarta has undertaken a number of activities to support SDG4 – Quality Education

within Brunei Darussalam through the sharing of lesson learned of the implementation of Education for

Sustainable Development from all Cluster Countries. UNESCO Jakarta Office will continue working closely

with the Ministry of Education as well as the National Commission for UNESCO in Brunei Darussalam in

ensuring the implementation of SDG4 – Quality Education in the region.

To support the objectives of Wawasan Brunei 2035, UNESCO’s Education Programme is proposing

two programme initiatives to: (1) strengthen Education for Sustainable Development; and (2) support

commemoration of international days and launches of Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report within

the framework of EFA.

Disaster Risk ReductionTo support Brunei Darussalam’s Strategic National Action Plan (SNAP) for Disaster Risk Reduction,

UNESCO office Jakarta will focus on the application of Science, Engineering, Technology and Innovation

to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the meet the

Sustainable Development Goal –SDG11 target 11.5 and 11.b. Cooperation and partnership will aim on:

1. Enhanced disaster risk reduction (DRR) mechanism to ensure that DRR measures are implemented in

accordance to the Sendai Framework for DRR.

2. Build multi-sectoral disaster management capacity to manage all different types of disaster through

strengthened cooperation and coordination among stakeholders.

3. Increased community awareness and preparedness to promote understanding of DRR concept at

community level and to build community disaster preparedness.

Policy and Capacity BuildingNPD10 theme is “Knowledge and Innovation , Increase Productivity, Accelerate Economic Growth” and

the role of STI is highly recognized and encouraged in particular through the nurturing of “Educated and

highly skilled Population” (Thrust 1) with a focus on both strengthening national education system as well

as higher learning educations and research institutions.

UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy for 2014-2021 (document 37 C/4) sets out the strategic vision and

programmatic framework for UNESCO’s action in education, sciences, culture, communication and

information at the global, regional and country levels over the next eight years. Strategic objectives (SO)

4 and 5 are focusing on supporting STI and PCP which are in line with RNK10 Thrust 1 by:

SO 4: Strengthening science, technology and innovation systems and policies – nationally, regionally

and globally linked with the delivery of SDG 9.5 and 9.b

SO 5: Promoting international scientific cooperation on critical challenges to sustainable development

linked with the delivery of SDG 17.6, 17.7, 17.8, 17.9 and 17.14.

At the implementation level, UNESCO Draft Programme and Budget for 2018-2021 (39 C/5) also places STI

role under Main Programme II A- Natural Sciences MLA 1 “Harnessing STI and knowledge for sustainable

development” with two specific Expected Results (ER) in line with RKN10 priorities:

ER1 Member states have strengthened their capacity to develop and monitor inclusive STI policy

and knowledge systems linked with SDG 9.b

ER2 Member states have increased their capacity to produce, disseminate and apply STI linked with

SDG 9.5 and 17.6.12

ICT cooperation with UNESCO can be highly beneficial in both RNK10 areas linked to STI, national

education system as well as higher learning educations and research institutions by strengthening and/

or establishing a National Research and Education Network (NREN). Indeed as NREN can served as high-

speed backbone network for research projects and “on the net” activities, NREN in Brunei can enable the

development of a framework for a research and education network and build capacity within Brunei on

network management and maintenance. Moreover, it can provide a secure and reliable platform enabling

efficient e-learning establishment as common practice not limited to science or computer science subjects.

UNESCO related networks such as CONNECT-Asia (COllaboration for Network-eNabled Education,

Culture, Technology and science – Asia) operating on School of Internet-Asia infrastructure and through

the Comprehensive Programme to Enhance Technology, Engineering and Science Education in Asia,

COMPETENCE supported by Japan Funds-in-Trust.

On an institutional point of view, UNESCO tools such as the Global Observatory of Science, Technology

and Innovation Policy Instruments (GO->SPIN) and STEM and Gender Advancement (SAGA) will facilitate

mapping current science policies, setting standards and providing guidelines in STI policies and promote

collaboration between relevant institutions within Brunei and with the wider UNESCO family STI network

in Asia and the Pacific region.

Water and Environmental SciencesThe NPD10 of Brunei Darussalam recognizes the need to ensure access to water, including through water

conservation; ensure water quality through more effective water pollution detection; as well as improve

water supply, drainage and sewerage infrastructure, by reducing flood occurrences, among others. Brunei

Darussalam also pledged to increase the total gazette forest reserves to 55% of total land area, compared

to the current levels of 41% (Brunei Darussalam Intended Nationally Determined Contribution, 2015),

showing commitment in the areas of natural resources protection and management.

UNESCO Office Jakarta Natural Sciences programme envisages the following interventions to further

support the country’s efforts, in line with UNESCO Programme and Budget 38 C/5 (2016-2017) and Draft

Programme and Budget for 2018-2021 (39 C/5):

• Strengthening capacity to sustainably manage natural resources, and increasing ability to achieve

SDGs 13, 14, 15 and targets related to biodiversity conservation, earth sciences and climate

change resilience.

• Strengthening responses to local, national and regional water security challenges and increasing

ability to achieve SDG 6 and water-related targets.

• Increasing capacity to address development challenges, including in UNESCO sites as learning

sites, for inclusive and comprehensive approaches to social, environmental and economic aspects

of sustainable development.

The above interventions will be carried out through the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB), the

International Hydrological Programme (IHP), International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP).

Under IHP, in order to strengthen the country’s responses to local, national and regional water security

challenges and to increase its ability to achieve SDG 6 and SDG 13, four related projects have been

implemented in the region including in Brunei Darussalam. A range of capacity building on Integrated

Water Resources Management (IWRM) and ecohydrology tools under HELP Programme and knowledge

sharing, have been implemented through the network of IHP and Asia Pacific Water family, including IHP

national commissions, UNESCO Category 2 Water Centre and Chairs.

Sustainability Science concept has also been promoted in the Asia Pacific region, of which Brunei

Darussalam took part of, and will continue to be promoted in the region. Sustainability Science offers a

problem-focused approach rather than discipline-focused, and recognises that social, cultural, spiritual

and traditional values are part of a broader whole that needs to be encompassed in order to engender a

sustainable future.13

SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES10th National Development Plan (RKN 10) states that “Despite the prosperity and stability that have been

derived from our oil and gas resources, the socio-economic achievements and stable environment that

have been achieved thus far are still considered insufficient and unsustainable, particularly for our future

generations. This has been attributed to the fact that some of our national development objectives have

not yet been realised, including our objectives to reduce dependence on the oil and gas industries, to

diversify the non-oil and gas industries, and to enhance the development of local entrepreneurs, especially

the small and medium enterprises, which we hope would become the leaders of industry and commerce.”

(RKN 10, p.37)

To support the country in the achievement of these national aspirations, as well as the commitments made

towards the fulfilment of 2030 Agenda, UNESCO’s Social and Human Sciences Programme will strengthen

the institutional and human capacities in the country to generate, manage and apply knowledge to better

deliver on specific targets of the 2030 Agenda related to social inclusion, reduction of inequalities, health,

inclusive policies, and participatory decision-making.

These activities will be designed to strengthen planning, policy-making and programming on inclusive

development; youth; bioethics and the ethics of science and technology; sport; and reconciliation,

intercultural dialogue and intercultural competencies. The knowledge generated will be drawn from

reflections in the social sciences and humanities, as well as from indigenous know-how, participatory

approaches and lived experiences of people. Achieving this expected result will support the country

so that the whole process - from generation to the application of knowledge - will be ethically-driven

and based on human rights, cultural pluralism and gender equality. An inclusive approach to capacity-

building will be promoted by involving all interest groups, particularly young women and men, persons

with disabilities, and migrants and refugees, as well as the most vulnerable.

Various activities will be carried out for creating, capturing, analysing, sharing, brokering and disseminating

knowledge and globally comparable data; enhancing the policy uptake of research; connecting

stakeholders; and bolstering responsive, inclusive and participatory decision-making.

The key modalities for delivering these results will include UNESCO’s Intergovernmental MOST

Programme; the Action Plan for the International Decade for the Rapprochement of Cultures (2013-2022);

the International Coalition of Inclusive and Sustainable Cities (ICCAR) and other UNESCO urban platforms;

the Ethics Education Programme (EEP), and the Assisting Bioethics Committees (ABC) Project; and national

projects under the Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport. These modalities will be monitored to

ensure continued relevance, adaptability and effectiveness of these capacity-building initiatives.

A major emphasis will be placed on engaging the youth of Brunei for building peaceful and inclusive

society towards the achievement of SDG 16. The young women and men in the country are vital actors and

partners in innovative initiatives in response to global challenges. UNESCO will assist the government in

its efforts to enhance investment in research, policies and programmes to create enabling conditions for

youth, including the most vulnerable and marginalized and especially young women, to prosper, exercise

rights and engage as responsible citizens and social actors.

The Operational Strategy on Youth (2014-2021) gives UNESCO an agreed framework to harness the

potential of the young generation for constructive change, sustainable development and peace.

Operational activities will be developed through three complementary, transversal and interlinked axes: (a) 14

UNESCO considers the role of culture as an enabler and driver of sustainable development in the

implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and as a vector of peace and dialogue.

Tangible, intangible heritage and creativity, are providers of employment. The world heritage sites attract

every year thousands and sometimes millions of tourists and Intangible cultural heritage, be it dances,

songs, theater, or creative industries promote cultural traditions, are part of national celebrations and

involve communities.

The activities proposed by UNESCO should contribute to the sustainable development of Brunei

Darussalam. The implementation of the 1972 Convention will allow the state parties to identify sites for

inclusion on the Tentative list and subsequently on the World heritage list. The implementation of the 2003

Convention, will allow Brunei Darussalam to identify and propose elements on the list of the Intangible

cultural heritage, ensure their safeguard. Both are important for the tourism and visitors, but also to

ensure revenues for the performers, the artists and all the related infrastructures.

The Cooperation Framework and partnerships (linking UNESCO’s work to national priorities

according to plan)

UNESCO Office Jakarta Culture programme proposes to organize a capacity building activity on the

implementation of the 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural

Heritage. All the countries covered by UNESCO Office Jakarta, already ratified the Conventions,

however, Brunei Darussalam still doesn’t have for the time being, any property on the World Heritage

list. A workshop would gather the relevant experts of the five countries covered by Jakarta cluster Office:

Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Timor-Leste and build the capacities of the

participants on the Convention, on the identification of cultural sites that could be proposed and on the

constitution of files for proposal on the Tentative list or on the World heritage list for the State parties

that already have properties on the Tentative list. The meeting of 5 countries would allow exchanges of

experience and build networks and partnerships. As a result, Brunei Darussalam would have the capacities

to propose sites on the World Heritage list.

Similarly, UNESCO Office Jakarta proposes to organize a Capacity building activity on the implementation

of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Although the 5

countries have ratified the Convention, Brunei Darussalam still doesn’t have elements so far on the List of

Intangible heritage of UNESCO. The relevant workshop would build capacities of the relevant countries to

implement the Convention, including the creation or reinforcement of structures ad hoc, identify in their

rich cultural heritage, elements that could be proposed and the establishment of nomination files. Here

also, the presence of the 5 countries of UNESCO Jakarta Cluster Office, would allow exchanges and build

partnerships. As a result, Brunei Darussalam would have the capacities to propose elements on the list of

Intangible Cultural Heritage.

CULTURE

policy formulation and review with the participation of youth; (b) capacity development for the transition

to adulthood; and (c) civic engagement, democratic participation and social innovation.

Such efforts will also be geared towards addressing the core causes of youth vulnerability and supporting

young women and men to take an active role in promoting peace and countering violent extremism, in

line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security (2015).

UNESCO will seek out the youth stakeholders in the country (namely youth civil society organizations,

youth networks, grassroots youth-led organizations, youth national or municipal councils, as well as

individual youth leaders) and support them through targeted interventions to lead action and engage as

active citizens at all levels to contribute to sustainable livelihoods, promote mutual understanding and

dialogue, to prevent violent extremism, and build and consolidate peace. Such work will also contribute

to the effective participation of youth in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

15

These activities proposed are in line with the following guidelines enclosed in the strategic document

Wawasan Brunei 2035:

• Accelerating the pace of social progress and maintaining political stability (Part iii, Chapter ii):

“Culture is considered as one of the main elements for the quality of life” and Policy perspectives

and implementation strategies point 2.30 “Culture and Arts: Development of culture and arts

will be promoted to preserve and strengthen Brunei culture, heritage and values. Positive values

within the traditions will be capitalised towards strengthening social harmony and national

integration”.

• Tourism: “Tourism identified as one of the potential drivers to accelerate economic diversification,

create employment, increase foreign exchange earnings, and help improve Brunei Darussalam’s

image and international relations, while contributing to a better quality of life for Bruneians.”;

“Develop cultural and heritage events in conjunction with national celebration will also be

organised. This initiative will help in-bound tour operators to create more attractive in-bound

tourism product and packages” (Part iii, Chapter vii).

These activities will have a direct impact on the implementation of the following Sustainable Development

Goals: 8.9: By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs

and promotes local culture and products, 12.b Develop and implement tools to monitor sustainable

development impacts for sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products,

and goal 11.4 Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage.

The activities have a sub-regional scope, and include, for the workshops on the implementation of the

Conventions, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Timor-Leste, the five countries

covered by UNESCO Office Jakarta. The presentation of creative cities would have a national scope, with

global significance.

COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATIONCommunication and information is highly

regulated in Brunei Darussalam. Small

market size is one of the challenges for

development of a diverse pluralistic media

landscape in Brunei Darussalam. The only

local broadcaster is Radio Television Brunei

which is state owned. The Internet penetration

rate is about 70%. At the same time, Bruneians

are among the highest user of social media in

Southeast Asia.

Programmes and projects implemented under UNESCO Office Jakarta will be monitored and evaluated

in line with the expected results (ER) outlined in the UNESCO 39/ C5 Programme and Budget for 2018-

2021. Project implementation will be monitored in several ways and will be designed to capture the full

range of activities and outputs as well as overall impact. Beneficiaries and stakeholders will be included in

the Monitoring and Evaluation process throughout. Each activity will be assessed against a performance

indicator and a means of verification will be adopted to provide evidence. A systematic Monitoring and

Evaluation mechanism will be established to ensure that activities are efficiently implemented to achieve

the desired outputs. UNESCO will develop measurable indicators to guide the progression of the project,

to measure the progression against benchmarks, and to evaluate project relevance and effectiveness

against the specific objectives and overall project goal. A mid-term review and a final evaluation will be

conducted by a team of experts in consultation with participating beneficiaries. This will be coordinated

by UNESCO.
