The purpose of the UNESCO Country Strategy 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 Malaysia 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 Malaysia 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 Malaysia on SDGs 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,

14, 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 for UNESCO 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, sciences, 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 technology for South East Asia

(ROSTSEA).

UNESCO Jakarta has a double role as a Sciences 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 main lines of activities: education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture,

communication and information. It is responsible for the implementation of related programmes in Brunei

Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Timor.

About UNESCO

In the 48 UNESCO Member States and 2 Associate Members of the Asia-Pacific, UNESCO is present with a network of Field Offices comprising cluster offices, country offices and regional bureau.

Malaysia is a highly open, upper-middle income economy; less than 1 percent of Malaysian households

live in extreme poverty, and the government’s focus has shifted toward addressing the well-being of the

poorest 40 percent of the population (WB, 2017). Malaysia has a population of 30.6 million, was ranked

62 out of 188 countries on the UNDP human development index, 2015, with a score of 0.779 (high human

development).

The Eleventh Malaysian Plan 2016 – 2020 is based on the theme “anchoring growth on people” and has

six strategic thrusts and six game changers that will transform ideas into reality, and address in concert

the goals set out in Vision 2020 so as to catapult Malaysia towards the end state of being an advanced

economy and inclusive nation. It provides a platform for the country to make vital policy shifts and invent

new approaches to address new and existing challenges. These challenges are:

Vision:

Quality Education Begets Learned Individuals for a Prosperous

Nation.

Mission:

Upholding a quality education system that develops individuals to

their full potential and fulfills the aspirations of the nation.

Education plays a central role in any country’s pursuit of economic

growth and national development. There is no better predictor of a

nation’s future than what is currently happening in its classrooms. In

today’s global economy, a nation’s success depends fundamentally

on the knowledge, skills and competencies of its people. It is no

surprise that nations with higher education levels tend to enjoy

greater economic prosperity. Education is also fundamental

to nation building and unity. It provides individuals with the

opportunity to improve their lives, become successful members of

the community and active contributors to national development.

Through interacting with individuals from a range of socio-economic, religious and ethnic backgrounds—

and learning to understand, accept and embrace differences—a shared set of experiences and goals

for Malaysia’s future can be built. It is through these shared experiences and aspirations that a common

national identity and unity is fostered. Therefore, the education system must be able to produce youth

with common dreams and goals, towards the development of a brighter future for Malaysia. In recent

years, the Malaysian education system has come under increased public scrutiny and debate, as parents’

expectations rise and employers voice their concern regarding the system’s ability to adequately prepare

young Malaysians for the challenges of the 21st century. Given the nature of the education system, it will

take several years for fundamental changes to be felt. This makes the need for big, bold actions now both

important and urgent.

Malaysia has developed Malaysians Education Blueprint 2013-2025. This Blueprint is the result of extensive

research and public engagement carried out by the Ministry of education. Based on an understanding

of Malaysia’s current position and the challenges it faces, the Blueprint aims to establish the vision and

aspiration for the Malaysian education system through to 2025, as well as a roadmap of policies and

initiatives that will be undertaken in order to achieve these goals.

EDUCATION

• Environment. Data and information on natural resources are needed in order to

assess its quantity and quality so that sustainable development can be quantified

and progress towards it is measured.

• Gender empowerment. While Malaysia has achieved gender parity in education

and health, stereotyped gender roles continue to persist with implications for

other development achievements.

• Inclusiveness. A targeted, focused approach and a strategic, multidimensional

relook at the social protection system is needed to respond to possible unintended

circumstances or situations, bearing in mind the interconnectedness of various

problems.

• Quality of development. Pursuing quality development is essentially the thrust of recent government

plans and policies, the 11MP, for example, and the ETP. In education, the Education Blueprint has also

taken on the quality challenge. This paradigm shift will be required in other areas of development.

NATURAL SCIENCES

Disaster Risk ReductionMalaysia is geographically located outside the Pacific Ring of Fire. Therefore, it is relatively free from certain

severe crises found in neighboring countries. However, Malaysia is vulnerable to natural hazards including

floods, forest fires, tsunami, cyclonic storms, landslides, epidemics, and haze (local and transboundary).

Additionally, in recent years their exposure to a range of climate related disasters has been magnified in

part, due to climate change. Weather extremes are occurring more frequently and with higher intensities.

Hazards become disasters if there are vulnerable people affected where the intensity of its impact depends

on vulnerability. Floods are the major natural disaster threat facing Malaysia. Landslides and droughts are

also significant, although most prevalent in the Eastern part of the country. Landslides are found in the

form of slope failures along highways and roads in rural, residential and urban areas. This includes man-

made and natural slopes.

The Melaka Declaration on Disaster Risk Reduction in Malaysia captured the future direction of the

country on disaster risk reduction. It represented the launching of a campaign to improve the nation’s

preparedness in facing disasters especially in the context of increasing public awareness and involving

the National, Federal, State and local authorities. The declaration called on all levels of government

to encourage development of legal and institutional arrangements; to strengthen human resource and

capacity for DRR efforts; to integrate DRR into development planning; to enhance coordination and

collaboration among stakeholders; and to promote the use of technology in support of early warning,

multi-hazards risk assessment, and climate modeling and downscaling.

Policy and Capacity BuildingDespite significant progress since the 70’s, Malaysia is not yet in the same league as dynamic Asian

economies such as Republic of Korea. Governance issues and weak institutional capabilities in STI figure

at the top of the list of current shortcomings (UNESCO Science Report, 2015). In 11MP, STI is placed

as an enabler for accelerating regional economic growth mainly through reforming education and STI

governance. The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 seeks in particular to leverage ICTs to scale up

quality learning across Malaysia and improve the delivery capabilities of the Ministry of Education through

partnerships with the private sector (UNESCO Science Report, 2015). It also aim to share the ratio of

university students enrolled in STEM and non-STEM to 60:40 by 2020 and encourage Malaysians to pursue

tertiary education at the world leading research-based universities and promote stronger scientific links

between Malaysian universities and proven international experts to facilitate two-way brain circulation

(UNESCO Science Report, 2015).

Science to Action (S2A), the National Science Council chaired by the Prime Minister, has been launched

to strengthen STI governance, to streamline the different STI committees and to implement the National

Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (NSTIP) (2013-20) and provide strategic guidelines for STI

policy and investment for Malaysia to transition to an innovation economy by 2020.

In the effort to foster innovation in the business sector, the Collaborative Research in Engineering, Science

and Technology (CREST) Centre has been created to leverage and coordinate R&D capability building in

universities and public research institutes (PRIs) in relation to businesses. This is also tackled in the Malaysia

Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (higher education) setting a roadmap and action plan to transform the

higher education sector into a higher quality and higher technology transferred oriented one. Curricula, 9

methodologies and pedagogy need to be upgraded to nurture more creativity, problem-solving and

entrepreneurship. The Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 also focuses on improving the range and

quality of tertiary education and technical and vocational education and training (TVET).

Water and Environmental SciencesTo date, various conservation initiatives have been undertaken by the Malaysian government, such as

gazetting 23,264 hectares of forest as Permanent Reserved Forest under the Central Forest Spine initiative

and the planting of 53 million trees. However, ecological degradation is still occurring due to, among

others, insufficient consideration of social and environmental costs, illegal deforestation, and poaching.

Community empowerment through as alternative livelihood programme is also being carried out in the

country for communities that live on the fringes of protected areas and depend on natural resources.

One of the game changer in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan is embarking on green growth. It represents

Malaysia’s commitment to renew and increase its commitment to the environment and long-term

sustainability. The green growth strategy will lead to better quality growth, strengthened food, water and

energy security, lower environmental risks and ecological scarcities and ultimately better wellbeing and

quality of life. It will mean significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and improved conservation

of terrestrial and inland water, as well as coastal and marine areas including its ecosystems. Sustainable

consumption and production practices will increase the adoption of energy-efficient and low carbon

buildings, transports, products and services. Climate change adaptation measures and disaster risk

management, as well as the protection and conservation of natural resources, including biodiversity, will

be intensified to protect the nation and its development gains.

For the Eleventh Malaysia Plan, two principal outcomes

have been set. Firstly, to reduce GHG emission intensity

of GDP by up to 40% compared to 2005 levels by year

2020 and secondly, to conserve at least 17% of terrestrial

and inland water areas, as well as 10% of coastal and

marine areas. By conserving biodiversity, the continuity

of their function as a natural buffer against climate

change and natural disaster can be strengthened. This

buffer, complemented by structural approaches such

as innovative flood mitigation and green infrastructure,

as well as non-structural approaches like hazard risk

maps and warning system, will strengthen disaster risk

management and ultimately improve the wellbeing and

quality of life of the people.

Malaysia has enjoyed one of the best economic growth records in Asia over the last five decades; Malaysia’s

national per capita income expanded more than twenty-five fold from US$402 (1970) to US$10,796 (2014)

and is expected to surpass the US$15,000 threshold of a high-income economy by 2020. With success

come various challenges as there are gaps that need to be effectively addressed to incorporate especially

those left out of mainstream development, besides having to address the current challenging international

economic situation along the way. In this regard, promoting social inclusion through public policies in

Malaysia is extremely important as the country aspires to achieve a developed nation status by 2020

and beyond. This is made all the more necessary as in the recently launched 11th Malaysia Plan (2016-

2020), enhancing inclusiveness towards an equitable society is one of the sixth strategic thrusts. This is in

keeping with the UN Declaration of Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework in which

of the 17 SDGs, six goals pertain directly to social inclusion (Goals 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16)1.

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. And yet, much remains to be done to understand the complex

nature of Social Inclusion, to develop methodologies to monitor and measure progress towards this goal,

and to translate the emerging knowledge into policy and action. 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 Malaysia, 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.

inequalities, SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities, SDG 16 Peace and justice 11

The Eleventh Malaysia Plan describes the main challenges for the period 2016-2020. In the field of culture,

the plan emphasizes the need to empower the communities to build a productive and prosperous society;

the development of the cities and their competitiveness is considered as a high priority, as well as the

transformation of the villages; art and culture will be developed to promote a shared culture and heritage,

common identity as well as cultural diversity; support will be given to communities and individual talents;

heritage sites and local arts will be protected; the role in development of youth as future leaders and of

women is crucial. These challenges are in line with the SDG, especially SDG 5, SDG 8, SDG 11.3 and SDG

11.4. The Plan also echoes UNESCO’s mid-term strategy programmes that promotes culture as a powerful

vector of development and intercultural dialogue, especially 1) Protecting, promoting and transmitting

heritage and 2) Fostering creativity and the diversity

of cultural expressions which includes intangible

heritage, creativity and cultural diversity, with special

focus on women and youth.

Since 21 November 1946 when it joined UNESCO,

Malaysia has developed fruitful relations with

UNESCO in the field of culture. Regarding the

Conventions, Malaysia ratified the 1954 Convention

for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event

of Armed Conflict and its protocols (1960); the 1972

Convention concerning the Protection of the World

Cultural and Natural Heritage (1988), and the 2003

Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2013).

The Malaysia has two cultural sites on the World

heritage list: Archaeological Heritage of the

Lenggong Valley (2012) and Melaka and George Town, Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca (2008),

one property on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and one element on the UNESCO Intangible

Cultural Heritage list: Mak Yong Theater (2008).

Furthermore, this heritage, be it on earth or underwater can also be the object of illicit trafficking for

commercial or violent purposes. The rise of radicalism and its intolerance towards other people may

threaten the spirit of dialogue and the diversity inherited from millennia of exchanges and culture

prevailing in the region.

CULTURE

12

Malaysia is steadily transforming into a communication and information hub in the recent decade. Out

of over 31 million people living in Malaysia, almost 70% are in the productive age (15 – 65 years old), and

are consumers of information technology. Internet penetration rate is more than 68% and there is a 130%

mobile phone use or ownership. Under the National Broadband Initiative, 55,801 km of fibre was rolled

out, increasing the broadband penetration to 70.2% of Malaysia’s households.

Furthermore, safe online practices are being inculcated through the actions such as the CyberSAFE in

Schools programme implemented by CyberSecurity Malaysia and the Ministry of Education to safeguard

young Internet users against negative content. Such programme may see link with UNESCO’s Media and

Information Literary (MIL) programme which see safety online as one of the necessary skills for critical user

and producer of information and communication. Media and information literacy isconsidered a bulwark

against the proliferation of hate speech and false information online as well as a tool to fight violent

extremism especially if complemented by other socio-economic programmes.

Climate change is an issue taken seriously by Malaysia, as outlined in Eleventh Malaysia Plan, “building

a socio-economic development strategy that will increase the resilience to climate change and natural

disasters remain critical”. This hold particular relevance in light international agreements such as the Paris

Agreement on climate change and certainly the Sustainable Development Goals. One important aspects

of the climate change discussion is the need to convey critical information to the general public to improve

knowledge and also awareness of the issues. In this regard, the role of journalists to accurately report on

the issues is critical. As such, climate change reporting is an under developed area globally and Malaysia

has the potential of becoming a regional leader in this area. Malaysia, through its Malaysia-UNESCO

Cooperation Programme has funded the “Post COP 21 Strengthening Media Capacity to Monitor and

Report on Climate Change in Asia Pacific”. This kind of cooperation can be further expanded.

The cooperation framework for this Malaysia-UCPD aligns proposed UNESCO programmes with the

country’s Vision 2020 and Malaysia Plan UCS. The Education Unit in the Jakarta Office assists the government

in meeting the goals of the SDG4 of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD). Our

major emphasis is in encouraging and supporting reforms in the development of quality, effective and

efficient education systems by assisting people, particularly impoverished and marginalized groups, gain

access to educational opportunities, resolve social conflicts, and compete more effectively in the global

market. Our efforts focus on improving the quality of basic education by removing barriers to participation

and learning. We also help develop innovative solutions for the effective and adequate provision of

appropriate out of school education for disadvantaged women, children in difficult circumstances and

in poor and remote areas, children with special needs, and illiterate and unskilled adults. To support the

objectives of Malaysia’s Vision 2020, UNESCO’s Education Unit 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 Reports (GEM) within the framework of SDG4.

Disaster Risk ReductionOne of the key focus area in the Eleventh Malaysia’s Plan 2016 - 2020 is pursuing green growth for

sustainability and resilience through strengthening resilience against climate change and natural disasters.

The strategies are:

• Strengthening disaster risk management by establishing DRM policy and institutional framework,

improving disaster detection and response capacity, incorporating DRM into development plans

and creating community awareness through: 1. Establishing a policy and institutional framework for

disaster risk management; 2. Improving disaster detection and response capacity; 3. Incorporating

DRM into development planning; and 4. Improving communications and awareness;

• Improving flood mitigation by generating new investments from flood mitigation projects, enhancing

long-term planning and strengthening flood forecasting and warning systems through: 1. Generating

investments from flood mitigation projects; 2. Long-term planning for flood mitigation; and 3.

Strengthening flood forecasting and warning system; and

• Enhancing climate change adaptation by developing a national adaptation plan, and strengthening

resilience of infrastructure, natural buffers including water and agriculture sector as well as creating

awareness on health impact through: 1. Developing a national climate change adaptation plan; 2.

Building resilient infrastructure; 3. Strengthening natural buffers; 4. Increasing resilience of agriculture

sector; and 4. Creating public awareness on health impact of climate change

The government of Malaysia sets up a National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) to coordinate

government agencies to handle disasters affecting the country. NADMA is set up to manage and

coordinate efforts against disasters in the country in coordination with all country’s stakeholders.

Policy and Capacity BuildingAs according to its mandate, UNESCO will provide:

• Technical support on strengthening STI ecosystems and the science-policy-society interface, to bridge

the gap between STI knowledge and policy, and to catalyse Member States’ investment in STI through

programmes like

• Support in institutional capacity-building for science and engineering and the transformation of

higher education systems to more trans-disciplinary approaches leading to increased opportunities to

participate in the scientific enterprise, particularly for the marginalized.

• Support to the particular needs of SIDS by contributing to the implementation of the Barbados

Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of SIDS and the Mauritius Strategy for the

Further Implementation of the Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of SIDS and

protecting LINKS (Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems).

Within Malaysian Eleventh Plan 2016 – 2020, STI is placed as an enabler for accelerating

regional economic growth (Strategy D2: “Accelerating investment in regional economic

corridors”) by investing in quality education in particular in STI (Strategy D1: “Enhancing

access and quality to improve student outcomes”) through its Focus Area D “Improving

the quality of education for better student outcomes and institutional excellence”.

In terms of STI and Innovation policy, the 11th MP is tackling several Sustainable

Development Goal targets: SDG 4.3, SDG 4.4, SDG 9.5, SDG 17.6, SDG 17.7, SDG 17.8,

SDG 179 and SDG 17.142.

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 PBP which are in line with RPJMN 2015-2019 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 RPJMN 2015-2019 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.

MYREN (Malaysia Research and Education Network) is part of the greater UNESCO network CONNECT-Asia

On an institutional point of view, ISTIC the International Centre for South-South Cooperation in Science,

Technology and Innovation under the auspices of UNESCO, UNESCO tools such as the Global Observatory

of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Instruments (GO→SPIN) and STEM and Gender Advancement

(SAGA) are tools available for enabling 11MP targets in STI policies especially in STEM. They can also set

standards, indicators to monitor educational reform performance and provide guidelines in STI policies

and promote collaboration between relevant institutions within Malaysia and with the wider UNESCO

family STI network in Asia and the Pacific region.

Water and Environmental SciencesMalaysia is “blessed with rich biodiversity – forest, marine, and coastal areas with unique ecosystems, flora

and fauna” (Eleventh Malaysia Plan, p.6-21). Yet the country’s natural environment is “increasingly under

stress” due to growing population and demand (Eleventh Malaysia Plan, p.1-14). To address these issues,

under the Eleventh Malaysia Plan 2016-2020, the Government is committed to the following focus areas in

order to pursue green growth for sustainability and resilience:

• conserving natural resources for present and future generations, with strategies including improving

water quality throughout Malaysia to address ecological degradation

• strengthening resilience against climate change and natural disasters, with strategies including

improving flood mitigation and increasing resiliency in infrastructure and agriculture sectors

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 other targets related to biodiversity conservation, earth sciences and climate

change resilience.

• strengthening responses to local, national and regional water security challenges and increases its

ability to achieve SDG 6 and other 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 17

The above interventions are carried out through the Man and the Biosphere

Programme (MAB), the International Hydrological Programme (IHP), International

Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP). UNESCO’s MAB Programme and

IGGP have been and continue to be implemented in Indonesia to support the

sustainable natural resources management for UNESCO designated sites, in order

to promote innovative approaches to economic development that are socially

and culturally appropriate, and environmentally sustainable. Knowledge sharing

has been and continue to be promoted through, among others, Southeast Asia

Biosphere Reserves Network (SeaBRnet), Asia Pacific Biosphere Reserves Network

(APBRN), UNESCO Global Geoparks Network, and UNESCO partners in the region.

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, five related projects have been

implemented in the region. Capacity building on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and

ecohydrology tools and knowledge sharing, have been implemented through the network of IHP and Asia

Pacific Water family, including IHP national commissions, UNESCO Category II Water Centre and Chairs.

The Social and Human Sciences Programme activities in Malaysia are designed to respond directly to

the priorities on inclusive social development outlined in the Eleventh Malaysia Plan. Under the Thrust

1: Enhancing Inclusiveness towards equitable society, the Government has made commitment to focus

on enhancing inclusiveness and equitable opportunities for all Malaysians. Strategies aim to increase

the overall household income of the bottom 40% household income group (B40) towards improving the

quality of life and well-being of the people (rakyat). Income inequality is expected to improve further with

the Gini coefficient reducing to 0.385 in 2020. The focus will be on addressing the needs of identified

target groups, prioritising conditional and outcome-based support, whether economic or social.

Assistance and subsidies not linked to productivity will be reduced in favour of programmes focused on

creating improved wealth ownership and increasing education and skill levels. Specific strategies include

uplifting the B40 households towards a middle-class society; empowering communities for a productive

and prosperous society; transforming rural areas to uplift wellbeing of rural communities; accelerating

regional growth; and enhancing Bumiputera

economic opportunities.

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.

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


18

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 Malaysian youth in 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) 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.

Under the Eleventh Malaysia Plan Strategy 2: Improving Wellbeing for All, Strategy E1: Arts and culture

will be developed to promote a shared Malaysian culture and heritage, and offer another platform to

embrace diversity and a shared national identity. Research in arts and cultures will be intensified to ensure

the authenticity and continuity of Malaysia’s national heritage. Access to arts and cultural activities will also

be enhanced and promoted to greater community.

Malaysia was, with Indonesia and the Philippines, one of the pilot countries of the project “The Power of

Culture: Supporting Community-Based Management and Sustainable Tourism at World Heritage Sites

in Malaysia and Southeast Asia” generously financed by Malaysian Funds-in-Trust. The project allowed

elaborating a sustainable tourism strategy for the World Heritage site “Melaka and George Town, Historic

Cities of the Straits of Malacca” that now needs to be implemented. Malaysia is also one of the participants

in the project “Promoting Intercultural Dialogue and a culture of Peace in Southeast Asia through Shared

Histories”, developed by UNESCO Office Bangkok, in cooperation with UNESCO Office Jakarta, and

financed by Korean Funds in Trust. The objective of the project is to promote mutual understanding and

peace among future generations of the ASEAN countries through shared history.

UNESCO considers 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. In this regards,

UNESCO’s proposed cooperation programme in the field of Culture are:

• organize a capacity building activity on the implementation of the 1972 Convention Concerning the

Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage.

• organize a capacity building activity on the implementation of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding

of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

CULTURE

19

• implement the activities considered as priorities in the sustainable tourism strategy published for the

World Heritage site: “Melaka and George Town, Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca”, within the

framework of the project “The Power of Culture: Supporting Community-Based Management and

Sustainable Tourism at World Heritage Sites in Malaysia and Southeast Asia” financed by Malaysian-

funds-in-Trust.

• participate in the UNESCO project “Capacity Building for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) of Heritage

Cities in Southeast Asia (SEA) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific” financed

by Malaysian funds-in-Trust. The fundamental objectives of the project are to build capacity of

communities, heritage managers, and government officials for DRR of heritage cities; develop DRR

strategies and integrate them into the overall heritage management plan of the participating heritage

cities; and share the experience and promote the project outcome in SEA and Pacific SIDS.

• continue to be one of the pilot countries in Southeast Asia in the project “Promoting Intercultural

Dialogue and a culture of Peace in Southeast Asia through Shared Histories”, developed by UNESCO

Office Bangkok, in cooperation with UNESCO Office Jakarta, and financed by the Korean Funds-in-

Trust.

• propose the candidature of one of its cities to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

• Conscious of the danger of extremism for heritage and security in the sub-region, UNESCO proposes

to promote mutual understanding in schools through culture. Pupils/Students of Brunei Darussalam,

Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Timor-Leste, will be introduced to the cultural heritage of the

region and the importance to transmit it to future generations, using the World Heritage, Intangible

Cultural heritage, museums, creativity, illicit trafficking, emphasizing the commonalities.

• In order to better protect heritage of the countries of the sub-region, UNESCO also proposes to launch

an awareness campaign on the fight against illicit trafficking, including social media, publications and

meetings. This activity would focus on youth and women.

20

The Eleventh Malaysia Plan calls for accelerating adoption of ICT to increase access to information

especially for agriculture, business, education and health. Improving the access to information lies at the

core of the Communication and Information Unit. Further collaboration is possible on the empowerment

of youth to be skilled in mobile technology especially in the development of mobile application that can

lead to more employment opportunities.

UNESCO can contribute to the implementation and attainment of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan 2016-2020

under several action lines:

• Thrust 3 Strategy A1: Raising the income and wealth of B40 households, under action line ‘Enhancing

adoption of information and communications technology’, UNESCO aims to strengthen partnership

with relevant partners to plan and implement activities that will enhance the skills and knowledge of

the young people to use ICTs for educational or career purposes. Under the YouthMobile Initiative,

UNESCO and its partners strive to provide young people with the high-level skills and confidence

to develop, promote, and sell locally relevant mobile apps that solve local issues of sustainable

development and provide employment. To have greater implementation of the YouthMobile Initiative,

in support of Thrust 3 Strategy A1, UNESCO can explore possible partnership with the National

Commission of Malaysia for UNESCO and the Ministry of Communication and Multimedia.

• Thrust 5 Strategy D3 on Raising the quality of graduates and programme, strengthening research for

innovation, action line on ‘Creating massive open online courses for broader access and visibility’,

UNESCO may explore possibilities on how the Open Educational Resources (OERs) can be utilised to

support in bringing Malaysian expertise and raising visibility of Malaysian higher education institutions.

• Thrust 6 Strategy D3 Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation, action line ‘creating public awareness on

health impact of climate change’, is relevant to UNESCO’s programme on Post-COP 21 Strengthening

Media Capacity to Monitor and Report on Climate Change in Asia Pacific.


21

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

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.

CHALLENGESPolicy makers and civil society, not any type evidence is fit for the purpose of implementing and monitoring

the SDGs. To be up to the task, in the context of these goals, evidence should be increasingly:

(i) Equity-weighted

(ii) Integrated

(iii) Relevant to early stage and preventive action

(iv) Generated in an inclusive manner

Underlined should be that (a) the need for inclusion and equity at all levels, and (b) the role of evidence and

data in the implementation of the SDGs, were of particular relevance in the South-East Asian consultations

on the post-2015 Agenda. These two emerged as “guiding principles” endorsed by the participating

stakeholders. Addressing the aforementioned challenges to collect data needed for Monitoring and

Evaluation is part of the design of the projects to be carried out in Malaysia.
