          Thus, the Portuguese cooperation strategy is under
        
        
          revision, a process which aims to update and
        
        
          modernise the development cooperation policy
        
        
          approach in linewith the current international context.
        
        
          Aspects related to the effectiveness of ODA and Policy
        
        
          Coherence for Development (PCD) arise, in the current
        
        
          context, as essential components of CICL's work in the
        
        
          area of development cooperation.
        
        
          Respect for human rights, democratic governance,
        
        
          environmental sustainability, cultural diversity, gender
        
        
          equality, the principles of aid effectiveness, including
        
        
          coordination, coherence and complementarity of
        
        
          efforts, as well as for poverty reduction and the
        
        
          commitment to MDGs' achievement, are strategic
        
        
          principles of the action of CICL, as well as the
        
        
          geographical and sectoral priorities, to which two new
        
        
          areas are added, namely  the scientific and
        
        
          technological capacity and entrepreneurship and
        
        
          business development.
        
        
          No âmbito da CPLP está em curso o programa de
        
        
          capacitação dos sistemas estatísticos nacionais dos
        
        
          PALOP e Timor-Leste, previsto para o período 2012-
        
        
          2014. Qual o balanço que faz do primeiro ano de
        
        
          execução deste projeto?
        
        
          É com enorme satisfação que constato que a
        
        
          relevância que sempre demos à cooperaçãona área da
        
        
          estatística continua a ter um impacto positivo junto
        
        
          dos países beneficiários.
        
        
          O facto de neste primeiro ano de execução todas as
        
        
          ações efetuadas terem visto os seus propósitos
        
        
          alcançados é demonstrativo da recetividade e
        
        
          In the context of CPLP, the "Training Programme of
        
        
          the National Statistical Systems of the Portuguese-
        
        
          speaking African Countries and Timor-Leste" is
        
        
          currently being implemented and foreseen for the
        
        
          period 2012-2014. What is the assessment you
        
        
          make of the first year of implementation of this
        
        
          project?
        
        
          interesse que o programa tem nos países, permitindo
        
        
          consolidar a capacidade estatística dos países
        
        
          parceiros nos vários domínios de intervenção (apoio
        
        
          institucional; geoinformação; índice de preços no
        
        
          consumidor e indicadores de curto prazo; estatísticas
        
        
          económicas e contas nacionais).
        
        
          Assim sendo, parece-me que o objetivo global do
        
        
          programa está a ser cumprido e estamos a caminhar
        
        
          positivamente no processo de modernização e reforço
        
        
          institucional dos sistemas estatísticos nacionais dos
        
        
          PALOP e Timor-Leste.
        
        
          I am very pleased to notice that the relevance we
        
        
          always attached to cooperation in the area of statistics
        
        
          continues to have a positive impact on recipient
        
        
          countries.
        
        
          The fact that all the actions undertaken in this first year
        
        
          of implementation reached their purpose
        
        
          demonstrates the receptivity and interest that
        
        
          countries have in the program , allowing for the
        
        
          consolidation of their  statistical capacity  in the
        
        
          various intervention domains  (institutional support;
        
        
          geoinformation; consumer price indices and short-
        
        
          term indicators; economic statistics and national
        
        
          accounts).
        
        
          As such, it seems to me that the overall goal of the
        
        
          program is on track and that we are moving positively
        
        
          towards the modernization and institutional
        
        
          strengthening of the national statistical systems of the
        
        
          PALOP and Timor-Leste.
