Synopsis (short abstract) The MAF of Timor-Leste launched a transformative initiative to enhance agricultural productivity and planning through the Sustainable Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project (SAPIP). Supported by a USD 21 million grant from the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), the project aimed to improve smallholder farmers' productivity. Despite significant progress achieved since Timor-Leste's independence, the country continued to face significant human resource capacity constraints and a recognized need for a decentralized approach across all government institutions, including the MAF. The latter, in particular, requires accurate information on its activities and evidence-based analysis of its performance and the outcomes of the programmes it oversees. To address these challenges, the Government of Timor-Leste sought assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to develop an evidence-based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System as a sub-component of the SAPIP. The system integrated planning, monitoring and reporting, using data-driven tools for decision-making. The project concluded successfully in December 2023, establishing sustainable, evidence-based agricultural management.

    The Green Jobs for Rural Youth Employment project was a global initiative, funded by KOICA and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste and Zimbabwe. Each country faces distinct economic, environmental and, social challenges, yet all share a strong reliance on agriculture as a primary source of employment. The project worked in close collaboration with host governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), farmers’ organizations, academic institutions and private sector actors with the aim of promoting sustainable employment pathways for rural youth and strengthening institutional capacities in the green economy.Investment in rural economies, diversification within and beyond agriculture, and structural transformation are essential to unlocking economic growth, creating decent employment and ensuring a just transition. The transition to a green economy enables small-scale producers and micro, small and medium enterprises to engage in higher value-added activities and adopt sustainable practices along supply chains. By facilitating this shift, the project supported the creation of green jobs, reduced poverty and increased resilience, while also aligning with national policies on youth employment, rural development and climate action.
