The overarching goal is to enhance regional integration among PALOP and East Timor through the strengthening of cooperation and promoting knowledge exchanges. The current EU - PALOP-TL relationship follows the Multiannual Indicative Programme for the period 2014-2020 (11th EDF), and it is coordinated by the National Authorising Officer in Mozambique. The Programme has as priority sectors:
