Since Timor-Leste regained its independence in 2002, there remains a need to educate both elected officials and the public about the workings of the current government and justice systems. As a country with many isolated, rural communities, raising awareness and support for village-level governance is vital. The USAID/Timor-Leste NGO Advocacy for Good Governance activity expands upon Timor-Leste’s NGO enabling environment and work to strengthen the organizational, research, networking, and financial capacity for a cohort of Timorese NGOs to provide increased evidence-based, responsive, and sustainable advocacy services on behalf of citizens.

Together with our local partners, we are improving health and nutrition, expanding access to education, strengthening climate resiliency, enhancing people’s livelihoods, and ensuring communities are governed more inclusively. In each project, we track our goals, monitor the progress, and evaluate impact.
