    Report on a visit to Timor-Leste 4-18 July 2009 Prepared by Richard Brown August 2009 2 Background In April 2009, the District Administrator of Aileu District, Sr Martinho Matos, invited the Chair of Friends of Aileu, Cr Alice Pryor, the Friends of Aileu Project Coordinator, Richard Brown and other members of the Friends of Aileu Community Committee, to visit Aileu and participate in a two-day planning workshop to be conducted by the Aileu Friendship Commission in July 2009. The invitation was accepted and Cr Pryor, Richard Brown and Committee member Kate Jeffery, arranged to attend the workshop Richard Brown visited Timor-Leste from 4-18 July and Cr Alice Pryor visited from 11-18 July. A representative of a partner organisation Merri Community Health Services, Kate Jeffery, also visited Aileu and attended the workshop. The visit also provided an opportunity to meet with representatives of organisations in Aileu to review the progress of projects funded by Friends of Aileu and its partners and to plan future initiatives. The visit coincided with three international conferences being held in Dili. Kate Jeffery attended the two earlier conferences, the first of which had a research focus, and the second, entitled ‘Transforming Timor-Leste for Sustainable Development, Human Rights and Peace’, was of more practical relevance. Richard Brown attended the third conference, ‘Nation-Building Across Urban and Rural Timor-Leste’, which had a particular focus on local development. Richard Brown was able to hold meetings with representatives of the Timor-Leste government and NGOs while in Dili. Kate Jeffery also held meetings with representatives of health organisations, including the Timor-Leste Ministry of Health and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Dili and the School of Public Medicine at Charles Darwin University in Darwin.
