Country Strategy

ACIAR's program in East Timor targets food security, poverty reduction and capacity building to support recovery from the 1999 independence struggle and the development of a new nation. The focus is on applied assistance while R&D capacity and infrastructure are being developed. The initial projects underpinned the introduction and evaluation of higher yielding staple crops and the rehabilitation of the university's agriculture faculty. The outcomes from these projects are providing a base for further development efforts supported by Australia (ACIAR and AusAID) and other donors, and aligned with the Sector Investment Programs of the East Timor Government.
