EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Belun’s Early Warning, Early Response (EWER) system continued monitoring for violent incidents and changes to human security indicators throughout the CSM-SSD program, which supports the operation of the EWER system in 5 municipalities (Ainaro, Baucau, Dili, Oekusi and Viqueque). Please note that these municipalities changed on 19 August 2014, as the first CSM-SSD contract amendment was approved by the Agreement Officer.. The Early Warning, Early Response (EWER) system uses a volunteer monitoring network to gather data and information about incidents of violence and situational change in all 13 municipalities of Timor-Leste. 86 monitors operating in 43 administrative posts collect the data, which is then transmitted to the Belun office for analysis by 5 members of the EWER Management team and entry into the EWER database by 13 Municipals Coordinators.

Data in this report are drawn from the most recent available statistics from UNICEF and other United Nations agencies, and the Government of Timor-Leste. Cover photograph: © UNICEF Timor-Leste/2019/BSoares Girls take part in the ‘Kick for Identity’ junior football match to promote birth registration in Timor-Leste. © UNICEF Timor-Leste/2019/Helin THREE DECADES OF CHILD RIGHTS This has been a significant year for Timor-Leste. The 30th of August 2019 marked 20 years since the Popular Consultation, the countrywide vote that eventually led to the restoration of the country’s independence in 2002. The two decades that followed this momentous day have had their challenges, but have seen Timor- Leste achieve many milestones. The proportion of Timorese living in poverty reduced from 50 per cent in 2007 to 42 per cent in 2014. However, 49 per cent of children between the ages of 0 and 14 live below the national poverty line as of 2014. Undoubtedly, there is much work that still needs to be done. Towards this goal, UNICEF has worked closely with the Government of Timor- Leste, partners and donors to accelerate progress for children in the country: through the provision of technical and policy advice; advocacy; and supporting modeling initiatives or larger nationwide actions that draw attention to issues children face, drive change, and support actions that can catalyze progress.
