PRESS RELEASE <\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Australian Humanitarian Partnership\u2019s Disaster READY implements initiative to increase resilience of vulnerable communities to climate shocks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Dili, 10 May, 2024 \u2013 <\/strong>Rural, agricultural communities in Timor-Leste can be vulnerable to the effects of the erratic climate phenomenon; for example, previous droughts in the country have resulted disrupted agricultural production and water shortages for many households.\u00a0 With rising food prices both domestically and globally, this climate condition puts the country’s most vulnerable populations at risk of food insecurity.\u00a0 With nutritious food and safe water predicted to be scarce, many households are vulnerable to health, nutrition, water, and sanitation issues.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Today, the Secretary of State for Civil Protection, H.E. Domingos Mariano Reis, officially launched two new projects to help communities prepare and respond to the impacts of extreme weather events. These initiatives are integrated into the Australian Humanitarian Partnership’s Disaster READY Program.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Extreme weather events in 2015\/16 period in Timor-Leste led to an estimated 40.6% of households (approximately 363,759 people) experiencing food shortages and falling into severe food insecurity[1]<\/a>. Similarly in 2023\/24, the Combined Drought Index[2]<\/a> in Timor-Leste indicated a prolonged drought period which has impacted agriculture outputs throughout the country and places many households at further risk of food insecurity.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Women, girls, and people living with disabilities are disproportionately affected by climate effects\u00a0due to structural and systemic\u00a0inequalities. These new initiatives will be implemented\u00a0with a focus on gender equality, inclusion, and localisation, emphasising the special needs of women, girls, and people living\u00a0with disabilities, as well as empowering local actors to lead mitigation and preparedness efforts.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

With a total of AU$ 2,637,972 in funding assistance from the Government of Australia, these initiatives aim to reduce the vulnerabilities and increase the resilience of communities who are at risk of the impacts of disasters and climate change.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Disaster READY team will conduct initiatives to raise community awareness about the impacts of extreme weather events, reduce vulnerability to food insecurity through agricultural assistance, improve nutrition by establishing kitchen-gardens and distribution of drought-resistant seeds, and address Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene related issues through water conservation initiatives and establishment of water facilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Anticipatory Action Trial is a new, additional component of the Disaster READY project. This approach enables humanitarian stakeholders to act ahead of predicted hazards to prevent or mitigate acute humanitarian impacts before they fully unfold. Local knowledge and scientific weather monitoring systems are crucial to this approach as they allow local communities and humanitarian actors make informed decisions ahead of a humanitarian crisis. An anticipatory action plan consists of a set of pre-agreed and pre-financed activities to be implemented once a hazard is expected to reach a predetermined trigger threshold.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

His Excellency Domingos Mariano Reis, Secretary of State for Civil Protection, affirmed the Government of Timor-Leste\u2019s dedication to supporting these projects.\u00a0 \u201cLooking ahead, these activities are critical for improving disaster risk governance, increasing multisectoral resilience, and ensuring inclusive\u00a0participation in our efforts to mitigate the effects of disasters and climate change. The Secretary of State for Civil Protection’s objective is to strengthen national, bilateral, regional, and international cooperation. As such, we are dedicated to maintaining our close partnership\u00a0with the Government of Australia, the Australian Humanitarian Partnership Consortium, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of these projects. The Civil Protection Authority takes\u00a0full ownership of the Disaster READY project, and we aim\u00a0to continue its best practices and experiences moving forward”.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Counsellor for Human Development, Rebecca Dodd Representing the Australian Government says, \u201cAustralia is proud to be here with our colleagues from the Government of Timor-Leste (Secretary State of Civil Protection Authority) and our Australian Humanitarian Partners and to launch these initiatives to support communities prepare for and respond to the impacts of extreme weather. We all know how important early action is to reduce the impact of disasters for communities. This trial allows humanitarian stakeholder to act ahead of predicted hazards, which will help build the resilience of communities and support the most vulnerable\u201d.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The Country Director of CARE, Peter Goodfellow, representing the lead agency for the project noted, \u201cIncreasing the resilience of remote, rural members of society to climate shocks is central to the Disaster READY project. We recognise that women, girls and people with disabilities can be amongst the most vulnerable populations because of structural power and gender inequalities. As many countries around the world, including Timor-Leste, become more vulnerable to climate catastrophes, we welcome an increased focus on disaster risk reduction initiatives aimed at strengthening resilience of those living in hard to reach rural communities\u201d.<\/span><\/p>
