Re-imagining Development in Timor-Leste
People and the Planet 2013 Conference Proceedings , 2013
In the wake of Timor-Leste’s bloody ‘vote for independence’ in 1999, development was one of the many disciplines deployed by the international community to help stabilize and transition the nation from ‘post-conflict state’ to ‘liberal democracy’. Over the next few years a plethora of multilateral agencies and international organizations would implement a vast array of activities and programs aimed at improving the lives of the East-Timorese people. 13 years on and despite significant resourcing and expertise, many of the desired ‘developmental’ outcomes have failed to materialise: 41 per cent of the country’s population continue to live in absolute poverty, while 45 per cent of children under the age of five are significantly underweight. Moreover, there is also growing anecdotal evidence that development orthodoxy is struggling to connect with, as well as adapt to, communities where customary ‘ways of being and doing’ remain vital to social integration. Now as the United Nations and other agencies begin to draw down their activities in Timor-Leste, this essay asks why has development struggled to deliver more observable outcomes and benefits during this period of sustained international engagement? Exploring and highlighting a number of aspects unique to East Timorese society it also asks how might development be ‘re-imagined’ so as to be more effective in the future?

What is Development? Questions and Reflections from Rural Timor-Leste
Here Be Dragons, 2016
It’s a cool evening in the village of Lolotoe and I am sitting on a clay floor talking to a young woman as she prepares dinner for her elderly parents, brother and cousin. Located in the mountainous terrains of Timor-Leste’s western districts, Lolotoe has just endured several days of heavy rain. As my host moves back and forth from the stone campfire ring, I ask her what she is cooking. ‘It doesn’t really have a name’, she says, ‘it is simply vegetables and rice’. ‘We eat simply’, she explains, ‘in Lolotoe, most of us eat very simply’. As she sprinkles some seasoning over the vegetables I notice that the wax candle she is using to light her way around the kitchen is beginning to drip over her fingers. I ask her if I can help. Taking the candle from her, I do my best to give her the light she needs and we continue to talk. I ask her what she thinks of the development that has taken place in Lolotoe...
