FAO Priorities in Timor-Leste

FAO works in Timor-Leste is guided by its Country Programming Framework (CPF). The current CPF is focused on five key areas: support to improvement of institutions and coordination mechanisms for policies, laws and regulations; support to first Timor-Leste agriculture census; support to improve farming livelihoods, food availability and diversity of household diets; support to smallholder fishing and aquaculture households to become more resilient in the face of climate change; and support to renewal, realignment and development of Timor-Leste’s cash crop economy.
