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.
SOCIAL AND HUMAN SCIENCES
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.
16
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.
