| Abstract | Timor-Leste was established as a new democratic country in 2002 after over two centuries of colonization. During the period of political, administrative, socioeconomic, and physical rebuilding, the identified priorities of the country were food security, institutional strengthening, and technical capacity building. Timor-Leste joined PEMSEA as a country partner in 2006. The ICM program was focused on developing individual and institutional capacity for marine and coastal management, with special attention on development of alternative livelihood programs to improve living conditions and incomes of local people. In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), two districts, Manatuto and Liquiça, were selected to demonstrate: (a) ICM institutional arrangements, taking into consideration the existing administrative structure of the government with central line agencies having responsibility for project/program implementation at the national and local levels; (b) alternative livelihood development while protecting and conserving natural resources; and (c) capacity development at the national and local level. * Email: cinarcise@pemsea.org |
