Joint Evaluation of Timor-Leste Community Policing Programme

This is a Joint Evaluation of the Timor-Leste Community Policing Programme (TLCPP)and the Hametin Koperasaun Hamutuk Polisia ho Komunidade (HAKOHAK) Project for the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). Both programmes are four-year programmes; TLCPP focuses on strategy, training and operations for the PNTL and is implemented by New Zealand Police while HAKOHAK works ‘bottom up’ with communities and, simultaneously, ‘top down’ with the police institution and is implemented by The Asia Foundation(TAF). The evaluation was conducted in order to assist decision making on future support for community policing programming in Timor-Leste, as well as for the purposes of learning and accountability.
