The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan of Timor-Leste was prepared by the National Biodiversity Working Group coordinated by the Ministry of Economy and Development with support from the United Nations Development Programme and the Global Environment Facility. 

The NBSAP was revised and developed as of 15 February 2015, through national consultation processes with the engagement of all stakeholders from relevant institutions. References made to the institutional framework throughout the body of the text were not subject of this revision. This especially refers to the Chapter 1.4.2 (Governance of Biodiversity) and all related text including Annex IV. Transitional adjustments in the structure of the 6th Government at the time of revision finalization did not allow for the update of the institutional framework.
