The Haburas Foundation

The Haburas Foundation is Timor’s main environmental NGO. We work on increasing environmental awareness and education, doing advocacy on environmental and climate change issues and policies, facilitating the preservation of traditional conservation mechanisms such as Tara Bandu, promoting alternative fuels and doing environmental research.

The Haburas Foundation is currently acting as the Secretariat of the Land Rights Network (Rede ba Rai) and is actively involved in promoting the protection of Community Land Rights, fair distribution of land, promoting the needs of Land Vulnerable Groups and ensuring the participation of Timorese people in the formation of land policies, legislation and regulations.

The World Bank Justice for the Poor (J4P) Programme

The World Bank’s Justice for the Poor (J4P) program is a global research and development program aimed at informing, designing and supporting pro-poor approaches to justice reform.

The J4P program has been active in four countries (Indonesia, Cambodia, Sierra Leone and Kenya). The Timor-Leste program was launched in July 2008. In Timor-Leste the program focuses on two main aspects;

i)                    State building at the local level

ii)                   Customary systems of land management and rural development

 The J4P ‘Customary Systems of Land Management and Rural Development Project’ focuses on finding approaches for the expansion of productive and equitable engagement between government, investors and communities (including customary communities).

The Customary Land and Rural Development Research Project

The broad objectives of the programme are to look at best-practice principles for engagements between government, investors and customary communities which ensure protection of customary communities and their members while encourage private sector investment in the rural economy.

Such principles could eventually feed into corporate codes of good practice and state regulations on investor engagement in community land.

Specifically the Haburas led part of the research project involves the collection of case studies which illustrate best practice engagements between government, investors and customary communities.
