World Neighbors started a new project in the Oecusse District of Timor-Leste with a particular focus on climate challenges and community-based disaster risk reduction and preparedness. The goal of the project is to strengthen the ability of vulnerable upland communities to effectively respond to the negative impacts brought about by the effects of climate change and to increase the food security of these communities through sustainable agriculture.
During meetings held between World Neighbors and national and regional government agencies in Timor-Leste to introduce the new project, many officials stated how happy they were that World Neighbors had returned to the country, and emphasized how much World Neighbors had contributed to the development of community-based agriculture and food security in Timor-Leste through our previous projects which ran from 2007-2011.
