Timor Pullquote

While individual training and organisational change are necessary, by themselves they are insufficient: capacity development requires institutional change and reform.

Expanding Our Impact

Two-thirds of 1.3 million Timorese people still live below US$2 per day, and while child mortality rates have improved, many children under five still die of preventable and treatable diseases. High birth rates, limited family planning, and a bulging youth population place pressure on government and a weak private sector to create meaningful jobs and strengthen national stability.

Through close collaboration with local stakeholders and civil society, Abt is working to strengthen health sector governance, support health workforce management, promote healthy behaviors, and mobilize civil society organizations. Abt supported the country’s national COVID-19 response with health communications campaigns and vaccine promotion.
