Country-Led Evaluation of Social Welfare Workforce Capacity Building Initiatives in Timor-Leste
Country-Led Evaluation of Social Welfare Workforce Capacity Building Initiatives in Timor-Leste from 2016 to 2022
Highlights
The Government of Timor-Leste has prioritized the development of a skilled, professional, and accountable Social Welfare Workforce (SWW) since the adoption of the 2016 Child and Family Welfare (CFW) Policy. These efforts include the development of a multi-sectoral strategy for Social Welfare Workforce (SWW) capacity development and various partner organizations and programs have been executing capacity development (CD) initiatives. These initiatives have been geared towards the enhancement of knowledge and skills of the SWW, with the goal of providing inclusive and efficient preventive and responsive child protection services across the country.
The Ministry of Social Solidarity and Inclusion (MSSI) with support of UNICEF, commissioned a country-led independent evaluation of the capacity development initiatives targeting Timor-Leste’s SWW over the years 2016 to 2022. The evaluation provides evidence-based recommendations to guide the future processes and programs of SWW capacity development in Timor-Leste.
