Law Enforcement Tools For More Effective Prosecution (LET 4 MEP) LWOB will deliver TIP training to Liberian judges, lawyers, magistrates, and law enforcement personnel. It will produce and distribute illustrated graphic novels designed to convey complex legal concepts to potential victims of trafficking and to members of the legal community that are tailored to a Liberian context. These will be accompanied by trainer manuals that guide trainers through two (2) previously distributed graphic novels on the subject of TIPS and two newly created graphic novels under this grant. Law enforcement personnel will be provided with law enforcement "toolkits" that will provide law enforcement with critical practice tools in clear-cut and durable materials. The trainings are designed to promote the rule of law and will strengthen Liberia's overall capacity to identify, investigate, and successfully prosecute trafficking in persons cases. The trainings will be dual purposed to enable Liberians to practice in a non-TIPS context those skills that will be necessary to try a TIPS case, when it does present itself to prosecutors and the court. Focus will be on the discernible areas where stakeholders are misconstruing what are clearly human trafficking crimes and failing to prosecute (or successfully prosecute) TIPS scenarios under Liberia's 2005 Act to Ban Trafficking in Persons.

Participatory budget monitoring at district and national levels Timor Leste (TL) is Asia’s youngest independent nation and citizens are limited in their opportunities and capacities to influence Government at both district and national levels. Civil society is at a crucial stage in its development where it can support citizens to engage with different levels of Government and the issues affecting their local communities, and furthermore to create opportunities and structures in which this empowerment can flourish. 

The Government of Timor Leste has at its disposal a wealth of oil and gas revenues. This project will support Luta Hamutuk to train citizens about national budgeting processes and how to monitor government expenditure on infrastructure projects at the local level. By bringing together citizens, Luta Hamutuk staff and local government representatives through district committees, local citizens will be able influence how the oil and gas revenues are spent, for the benefit of Timorese society.
Capacity-building for participatory budget monitoring In relation to the Participatory budget monitoring activities being implemented by Luta Hamatuk (LH) with support from CAFOD and EU funding, CAFOD has approved supplementary funding to help LH build up its capacity in order to be confident about meeting EU standards for monitoring and reporting, and accountability.  The grant has enabled LH to recruit and deploy sufficiently qualified staff, develop a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation plan, and provide training and support for focal points (community-based volunteers).
Participatory budget monitoring with citizens’ groups in three districts Focusing on selected areas of Aileo, Liquiçá and Manatuto Districts, Mata Dalan Institute (MDI) seeks to empower ordinary East Timorese people to ensure the transparency and accountability of their governmental structures at both district and national levels, especially in respect of public service and public service delivery on health, education and old age pensions, and the Local Development Plans.  The activities include budget research and analysis, empowerment and awareness-raising, capacity-building for civil society organisations and citizens’ groups, participatory monitoring of government budgets and infrastructure development at district and national-level, and advocacy. MDI, which has a network of volunteers at district level, has shown particular success in providing young people with the opportunity to engage and make a positive contribution to East Timorese society.
Church action for peaceful and democratic election 2012 is an important year for East Timor as the young country will have a general election. East Timor has a history of conflict surrounding elections since it gained independence in 1999. For the upcoming election, CAFOD will make a small contribution to support CRS Timor Leste’s project to engage with the Church to support a peaceful election season in 2012. Learning from CRS’s prayer campaign around South Sudan’s secession, CRS have worked with the Justice and Peace Commission of Dili Diocese to develop a prayer campaign for Timor’s 2012 election season. 

The key focus of the project, which is the 111 days of prayers and reflection, will start on February 22, 2012 “Ash Wednesday” until June 26, 2012 “Pentecost”.

The Church Action for Peaceful and Democratic Election (CAPADE Project) will utilise the Church’s vast network and great influence to call all citizens to refrain from violence and contribute to a peaceful election. This will be done through a mass prayer and reflection campaign, taking place daily and weekly at churches, during various congregations’ activities, at school, within youth groups and through the mass media. Peace promoters will help monitor and immediately report election-related incidents or conflicts to peace building institutions, in order to restrict small tensions escalating into full scale violent conflict.
Peri-urban livelihoods and food security. This is a one-year project with Major Donor funding, which is in addition to the ongoing annual grant from CAFOD to CDC for “Institutional and Supporting Activities” (ETM114). It will provide for certain material inputs for income-generation activities, and the conduct of specified activities designed to strengthen local supply chains and increase market opportunities in and around Baucau.  

CDC has as their overall objective the promotion of local initiatives towards sustainable economic development with a focus on the District of Baucau. This work is centred on support to women’s food processing groups and the farmers who supply them. CDC believes that only by increasing income generation opportunities can Timor enjoy sustained economic growth and peace. Their programme has developed strategically and organically as they have been responding to the needs of small local groups over the years, effectively giving them a helping hand following their own initiative to overcome poverty. The support they give to these groups includes particular skills training and the setting up of links between farmers, producers and processors of agricultural goods, such as fruits, tomatoes, small fish and vegetables.  Through this a market is guaranteed for small local farmers, and income is generated for the processing groups, and in particular women, who otherwise face significant challenges in accessing the job market. 

Through this additional one-year project, CDC will be able to enhance its support to three of the women's processing groups, and strengthen the local supply chain links and marketing opportunities. Specifically it will fund: 1) the construction of new kitchens for three women's food processing groups; 2) the conduct of field research, mapping, and mobilisation of local farmers; 3) the provision of seeds and tools to local farmers, and; 4) the establishment of a co-operatively managed sales outlet in Baucau.
Conflict transformation, food security and sustainable development The primary focus of Kdadalak Sulimutuk Institut (KSI) is peace-building and conflict transformation, which necessarily links in with helping grassroots communities find constructive ways to solve practical problems.  The objective of this project is to help rural communities in Ermera and Manufahi Districts to improve and consolidate their food security (which necessarily includes land rights), and to raise household incomes.  The approach is based on the findings of an intensive participatory consultation process carried out with the communities prior to the start of the present cycle of CAFOD funding in 2011.  Workshops are held to validate those findings and produce Community Action Plans.  Practical support and training are provided, and demonstration plots established, to promote crop diversification and new or enhanced skills in agriculture and animal husbandry.  Efforts to increase production go in tandem with analysis and strategic planning for improved access to markets, formation and consolidation of co-operatives, disaster risk reduction, environmental conservation and appropriate technology. The socio-economic components are integrated into a process of community empowerment and conflict transformation, and capacity-building activities are undertaken to help beneficiaries develop a more active and informed citizenship, engage in public discussion of issues affecting their lives, and network constructively with decision-makers, media, and other partners.  A key tool for improvement of social cohesion is the documentation and creative use of traditional culture.
Integrated and sustainable rural development The diocesan Caritas organisation for Baucau used a participatory process to design this project with the full involvement of the beneficiaries.  It aims to empower and raise the living standards of a very poor rural community by improving food security at the household level through support to rice production and horticulture (vegetable growing), developing income-generation opportunities for women and vulnerable people through weaving of tais (traditional Timorese cloth), community reforestation,   Inputs include group animation and building up of local leadership, initial start-up capital (funding, tools, seeds), training in practical production skills and bookkeeping, and marketing studies.  The community is being encouraged to set up a tree nursery, and to achieve seed sovereignty through saving and sharing seeds.  The reforestation component, together with training on soil conservation and water management, are expected gradually to mitigate local environmental challenges including the new challenges arising from climate change.
Institutional strengthening for Caritas Diocesana Baucau As part of CAFOD’s exit strategy for Timor Leste, this project will support a long-standing Church partner, Caritas Diocesana Baucau (CDB), to strengthen their human resources for implementing activities that aim to increase income for rural households in Lautem district in eastern Timor Leste. 
 
Key areas for support identified by CDB together with CAFOD programme staff in this final period of partnership are:
• Report and proposal writing,
• Monitoring and evaluation (M&E), 
• Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), in order to help CDB to more strongly incorporate the knowledge and opinions of beneficiaries in the planning and management of their projects.
 
Training and support will be delivered by a Progressio Development Worker (on report and proposal writing) and by CAFOD partner KSI (on M&E and PRA).
 
In addition, CDB have also identified that their target groups need further support in book keeping and monitoring of their own levels of production and income generation. CAFOD partner CDC also work with livelihoods groups in the same village, therefore CDC and CDB will conduct joint training for their groups on book keeping and M&E. 
 
CAFOD’s Programme Accompanier based in Timor Leste will provide close support for each of these processes.
 
As well as building CDB’s institutional capacity and strengthening internal governance and transparency within the target groups, this project will also serve to increase cooperation between local NGOs working on sustainable livelihoods in Timor Leste.
