Evidence-based prioritisation of actions is now needed so that feasible, affordable nutrition interventions can be implemented across sectors. ........................................................................................................ 24 Key Finding 2: Diets are poor and lack diversity; especially for vulnerable groups such as mothers and children. Including a variety of foods from diverse food groups is essential to meet nutrient requirements. .......................................................................... 28 Key Finding 3: Almost all Timorese households could afford to meet their energy needs. For most households, a nutritious diet that meets energy, protein and micronutrient needs would be unaffordable. ................................................................................... 33 Key Finding 4: Women are particularly impacted by poor nutrition. This both negatively affects their and their families’ health, wellbeing and future potential. ................................................................................................................................................................................... 44 Key Finding 5: Improving the nutrition of infants and young children would require small investments in the short term that could deliver lasting returns over generations. ...................................................................................................................................................... 48 Key Finding 6: Programa Merenda Eskolar provides a valuable entry point to improve nutrition in children, but menus need to be diverse and include micronutrient-dense foods. ....................................................................................................................................... 51 Key Finding 7: Meeting the nutrient requirements of adolescent girls would cost more than any other member of the family. They are at high risk of micronutrient deficiencies, but few interventions exist to address their needs and data to inform programming is limited. ................................................................................................................................................................................................ 56 Key Finding 8: Timor-Leste is a nation with strong participation in the agricultural sector and produces a great diversity of foods, yet productivity is low. Interventions targeting both the quantity and nutritional quality of foods produced could improve access to nutritious diets for all. ................................................................................................................................................................ 58 Key Finding 9: Diets across the country are overwhelmingly dependent on staples such as white rice, which provide energy but are low in essential micronutrients. Exploring the potential for supporting rice fortification could mean greater access to nutritious diets. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 67 Key Finding 10: Social protection has significant potential to improve access to nutritious diets for the most vulnerable, but only if realistic transfer amounts and nutrition-sensitive packages are provided. ..................................................................................... 68 Final observations: combined impact of household packages ............................................................................................................................... 74 Draft KONSSANTIL Recommendations ........................................................................................................................................................................... 77 References ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 80 Appendices ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 85 3 List of Figures Figure 1: Overview of the FNG process and Timeline in Timor-Leste ................................................... 18 Figure 2: The Administrative Posts in which Market Data was collected ............................................. 20 Figure 3: Images from the market price survey data collection ........................................................... 21 Figure 4: Municipalities selected for the CotD analysis for the Timor-Leste FNG ................................ 23 Figure 5: FNG Leadership and technical partners ................................................................................. 23 Figure 6: Overview of interventions modelled per group across the life cycle and by sector ............. 27 Figure 7: Percentage of IYC aged 6-23 months per municipality achieving minimum dietary diversity as per the 2019 IPC report (3) ............................................................................................................... 28 Figure 8: Percentage of energy provided by food group in diets of 6-23mo: Diet A (left) a hypothetical diet for this target group based on reported dietary patterns (estimate based on qualitative results) and Diet B (right) the lowest cost, nutritious diet modelled for this target group in the CotD Analysis (example from Oecusse). ...................................................................................................................... 29 Figure 9: Cumulative percentage of micronutrient requirements met (capped at 100% RNI) by each additional food group for Breastfed IYC (6-23mo) (Oecusse) using the modelled lowest-cost Nutritious Diet (CotD Analysis), in order of

    Sea-Change: Mambai Sensory Practices and Hydrocarbon Exploitation in Timor-Leste

    Sea-Change: Mambai Sensory Practices and Hydrocarbon Exploitation in Timor-Leste by Prash Naidu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stuart Kirsch, Chair Professor Webb Keane Professor Maria Lemos Professor Erik Mueggler Prashanthan Naidu [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-3619-3636 © Prashanthan Naidu 2019 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of my grandparents, Avva and Thata, and Avo Roza in Timor-Leste. ii Acknowledgements I recall the times Avva, my paternal grandmother, whiffed deeply into a piece of fruit before placing it under my untrained nose. “Here, smell it. You can tell by the smell if it’s ripe,” she said. This memory rematerialized many years later when my Mambai host mother, Roza, beckoned me to smell the fish caught by her husband in the Tasi Mane. “You won’t smell the sea when you smell our fish, you will only smell death,” Roza would often remind me during fieldwork. Not only did Roza nudge me to study the vital role of the senses in people’s perception of environmental change, she also stirred memories of my grandmother’s olfactory teachings. Roza and her family Araujo shared more than food, safety, and shelter with me; they left me with a sense of purpose in documenting and writing about the sea-change experienced by people at the margins of international concern. As an adviser once shared with me, an acknowledgement is the materialization of our lived memories.
