Capacity-building for participatory budget monitoring Progressio is a UK-based Catholic agency which specialises in providing expert development workers to work with groups which authentically represent poor and marginalised people, on a long-term basis, to help them develop lasting, practical solutions, and change the policies and structures that keep them poor.  

This is the second 2-year cycle of CAFOD funding for the placement of a Progressio development worker to provide institutional capacity-building and accompaniment to CAFOD's partner Mata Dalan Institute (MDI). The first 2-year cycle began in April 2010 and ended in March 2012. MDI is a small and relatively young organisation working to increase governmental transparency and accountability, and is carrying out valuable work at the grassroots to enable communities and citizens to hold their government to account. MDI’s aim is to promote accountable public service budgeting, and improved public service delivery, through processes of budget research and analysis, empowerment and awareness-raising, participatory monitoring, and advocacy.

In this second phase, CAFOD and Progressio will continue to strengthen the organisational, programmatic, and outward communication capacity of MDI, in order to enhance citizens’ involvement in national and local decision making processes.The direct target beneficiaries are the staff of MDI (6 staff members), and their groups of volunteers in the districts, referred to as “network members” (approximately 90 individuals altogether, spread across 3 districts of East Timor). These volunteers disseminate information to communities, carry out local monitoring activities, and provide a conduit for information to be fed back up from community level.  Indirect beneficiaries will be the communities themselves in the areas of operation of MDI, as the partner organisations train network members, who in turn organise communities to enable them to participate in an effective and meaningful way.

For Progressio, this current project forms part of a wider 3-year project; the Supporting Inclusive Local Governance Project, which includes supporting NGO-Forum Timor-Leste (FONGTIL), at least four District Development Networks (DDN), Core Group on Transparency (CGT), as well as Mata Dalan Institute and Fundasaun Balos (FB). Further details of this SILGP can be found in Progressio’s proposal to CAFOD, and the SILGP Concept Note, both accessible via Link Docs.
Participatory budget monitoring at district and national levels This is a relatively large three-year project, funded by EU and CAFOD, to help East Timorese citizens establish an inclusive and empowered society where district and national governments are accountable to the citizens who elected them for the transparent use of oil and gas reserves.  Luta Hamatuk (LH) works to promote participatory monitoring of government budgets and infrastructure development at district and national-level, and progress on implementing EITI (Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative) standards.  At local level LH works through a network of focal points (community-based volunteers) who are kept updated through periodic briefings, and District Infrastructure Monitoring Committees.  Other activities include robust analysis of the national budget and the Petroleum Fund, research and dissemination of informational, policy and campaigning materials, and networking with civil society organisations at national, regional and international levels.
Social and economic development through support to local enterprise Centro de Desenvolvimento Comunitario (CDC) seeks to contribute to the process of making the country’s economy more self-sufficient and less dependent on imported goods, through promotion of food security, resource sovereignty and sustainable livelihoods for Timorese people living in peri-urban and rural areas.  Training and technical support are given to a range of community-based producer groups and service providers, and small entrepreneurs, always in response to their own request.  Target beneficiaries are often, but not always, engaged in food production or post-harvest processing of foodstuffs.  Capacity-building is provided in bookkeeping and other record maintenance, business plans, trade skills, marketing and sourcing of inputs/ raw materials, co-operative working etc.  Recycling is encouraged, to reduce the need for imports, and research is carried out into traditional skills and tools, resource requirements, opportunities for diversification.  A particular challenge which the project seeks to address is the difficulty faced by local producers in East Timor in competing with imported products, which are often cheaper.
Training on child protection for partners in Timor Leste CAFOD partners KSI, CDC and CDB support women and men in Timor Leste to be able to make a decent living and meet the needs of themselves and their families in ways that are sustainable, for example through training groups to promote agricultural diversification and improving the access groups have to markets.

Each partner recognises that there are risks involved in providing livelihoods training to community members, for example when members of the groups bring their children to the trainings and expose them to potentially dangerous machinery, or when parents send children to local fairs during school hours to sell the groups’ produce, or when faced with young girl brides wanting to join the groups to making a living for their new families. 

KSI, CDC and CDB attended a CAFOD/Plan child protection training in June 2011, however no follow-up support was provided and to date the organisations have yet to develop child protection policies. This means that staff members still lack clarity on how to act when presented with situations such as the above, to ensure children are not harmed as a result of their activities. Each organisation recognises that their staff should be aware of the potential challenges and dangers that arise when children become exposed to/involved in their work. 

Therefore CAFOD is organising a 3-day training in Baucau in September 2013, facilitated by a Child Protection Trainer from Plan Indonesia. From this training, each organisation will be (re)introduced to child protection issues, will develop a draft child protection policy relevant for their organisation, and will be trained on training their colleagues on the new policy.
Building up civil society for constructive engagement in national development CAFOD, in conjunction with other international donors and the government of Timor Leste, provides regular funding support to FONGTIL, the national NGO Forum.   Specific requirements towards which FONGTIL is working are: a clear law on non-profit organisations which includes NGOs, a clear definition of the role of NGOs, and clear local agreements about NGO participation.  FONTIL also seeks to help its members improve their skills in monitoring and evaluation, and plays a co-ordinating role to facilitate their collaborative engagement at both local and national levels.  Under the current strategic plan, CAFOD support is directed particularly towards efforts to strengthen relationships between the member NGOs, and between the NGOs and the national government, so as to encourage and facilitate NGO participation with development plans at national and local levels.
Supporting women’s groups in Ermera and Manufahi Districts to improve coffee and coconut oil product A small grant from CAFOD has been used to purchase three water pumps (and materials for building three latrines) and machines for processing the coffee and coconut.  CAFOD’s local partner is also helping the women’s groups improve their bookkeeping, packaging and labelling.
HIV&AIDS transitional programme 2011 A one-year project of transitional support to CDD's HIV&AIDS programme, directed at two main outcomes:
1. Continuation of existing support to FSW in Dili, to reduce isolation and stigma, and to develop alternative livelihood options.
2. Capacity-building measures to improve the knowledge and skills of CDD management and staff, to enable them to develop and manage an HIV&AIDS programme suitable for their target groups.
Improving institutional capacity of Caritas Diocesana Maliana (CDM) In January 2010, the Vatican officially erected a third diocese in Timor Leste, the diocese of Maliana. On the request of Monsignor D. Norberto do Amaral, Bishop of the new diocese, in 2011 Catholic Relief Services (CRS) led a needs assessment to inform the programme development for Caritas Diocesana Maliana (CDM), which was established with the new diocese. This needs assessment and resulting report which outlined possible interventions for CDM was supported (financially and technically) by members of Caritas Internationalis in Timor Leste, including CAFOD. The assessment covered needs, actors and gaps in the sectors of health, water and sanitation, peacebuilding and governance, education, livelihoods and emergency preparedness and response.
 
More recently, since March 2013 CDM has received full time support from a Progressio Development Worker (DW) in the role of an Organisational Development Advisor, funded by Development and Peace (Caritas Canada). The DW has supported CDM to conduct an organisational capacity assessment, which included an analysis and validation of the 2011 community needs assessment, resulting in a one-year capacity building plan based on the needs assessment analysis, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, constraints and priority organizational areas of CDM.
 
CAFOD is making a small contribution to support the initial stages of this plan, including the recruitment of staff and a strategic planning workshop, as part of the final stage of CAFOD’s programme in Timor Leste. The long term aim (beyond CAFOD’s withdrawal) is the development of CDM as a model diocesan Caritas in accountability, transparency and programme management (pastoral and community development).
