Summary 
 
------- 
 
1. On March 13 - 14, two major NGOS in Timor-Leste held an 
anti-trafficking workshop, "Halt Exploitation, Learn to 
Prosecute (HELP)", for over 68 members of government agencies 
and NGOs.  The GOTL signaled its strong support by having 
Foreign Minister Da Costa serve as the keynote speaker in the 
opening panel.  The Department of State has invested over 
$360,000 in HELP grants to International Organization on 
Migration (IOM) and the Alola Foundation in Timor-Leste since FY 
2006 to provide training to raise awareness and strengthen 
mechanisms against human trafficking within the police, border 
police unit, justice, and civil sectors.  The Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs (MFA) is coordinating GOTL implementation of 
this program, and after a hiatus resulting from the 2006 
political crisis, last August resumed meetings of its Human 
Trafficking Task Force, with participation by other government 
agencies, NGOs, international organizations, and civic groups. 
The task force held its second meeting on February 21, 2008. 
 
Foreign Minister, DCM Open Workshop 
 
------------------------------------ 
 
2. On March 13, DCM joined Timor-Leste's Minister of Foreign 
Affairs Zacarias da Costa in delivering remarks at the opening 
ceremony in Dili for the "HELP" anti-trafficking workshop.  Also 
featured were International Organization for Migration (IOM) 
chief Luis Vieira and Alola Foundation chief executive officer 
Anne Finch.  Foreign Minister Zacarias Da Costa said while the 
trafficking problem in Timor-Leste did not appear to be 
extensive, the GOTL was committed to nipping it in the bud. 
Otherwise, he said, the experience of other Southeast Asian 
countries showed that the trafficking problem has the potential 
to overwhelm the GOTL's capacity to deal with it.  Da Costa said 
that the GOTL views border security as crucial in this regard, 
and outlined efforts by the military and police to make 
improvements.  He reaffirmed the commitment of the GOTL to 
strengthening inter-agency cooperation and reaching out to 
international partners. 
 
3. DCM commended the increased attention that the international 
community had devoted to the trafficking problem in recent 
years.  He outlined the USG's approach, saying that that last 
year the USG spent approximately $74 million to fund 154 
projects in about 70 countries to support foreign government and 
NGO efforts to combat human trafficking.  He added that since FY 
2001 the USG has funded more than $448 million for anti-TIP 
projects outside of the U.S.  He emphasized that the USG seeks 
not so much to pillory foreign governments on this issue as to 
facilitate international cooperation.  Highlighting that the USG 
also is committed to combating human trafficking within the U.S. 
borders, he noted that 10 federal agencies are involved in 
anti-trafficking efforts. 
 
Much Ground Covered 
 
------------------- 
 
4. The workshop agenda provided participants with a 
comprehensive introduction to human trafficking issues in the 
country and the region, and specialized training on effective 
response.  It also facilitated networking between concerned 
stakeholders, and provided an open forum for discussion on 
priority responses.  The seminar resulted in participants 
charting an initial mapping of available victim support services 
and preliminary agreements on the institutional frameworks 
required to effectively combat human trafficking.  IOM and the 
Alola Foundation pledged to launch a new public information 
campaign funded by the Department for specialized training of 
Timorese journalists, foreign embassies, and members from the 
law enforcement sector. 
 
5. On the first day of the workshop, presenters covered basic 
concepts and terminology; group work on applying human 
trafficking concepts and terminologies; overview of human 
trafficking in Timor-Leste and Southeast Asia; discussion on 
local knowledge of human trafficking in Timor-Leste; national 
and international legal frameworks; reporting; and information 
and investigation for cooperating with law enforcement agencies. 
 
6. On the second day, participants addressed coordination and 
cooperation; data collection and research; awareness creation; 
discussions and recommendations for preventing human trafficking 
in Timor-Leste; identification and referral of victims; role 
plays on interviewing techniques; networking and referrals in 
Timor-Leste; criminal process in Timor-Leste; human trafficking

as a human rights violation; round table discussion on 
developing institutional structures to support counter 
trafficking efforts in Timor-Leste; human trafficking awareness 
assessment; and closing remarks and presentation of certificates 
by MOFA Secretary General. 
 
GOTL Focused on TIP 
 
------------------- 
 
7. The Timor-Leste Cabinet formed in August 2007 has taken 
concrete steps to fight human trafficking, despite scant 
resources and the pressure of other security priorities.  The 
presence of Foreign Minister Zacarias da Costa at the opening 
ceremony for this two day conference received media coverage and 
sent a strong signal that this is an issue of priority for the 
government.  Moreover, the workshop included training of law 
enforcement officers on victim identification and protection. 
This agenda highlights the government's commitment to improve 
coordination among its agencies and to train their personnel on 
fighting human trafficking. 
 
8. The GOTL will work with IOM and the Alola Foundation in 
sponsoring another "HELP" anti-TIP workshop for journalists and 
foreign embassies next month, in addition to a quarterly 
stakeholders and networking group conference each quarter. While 
modest, these steps indicate a growing commitment by the 
government to overcome its limited resources and reliance on 
international organizations and NGO's to increase awareness. 
More significantly, it highlights its commitment to train law 
enforcement and security personnel on identifying and combating 
human trafficking, and sustain a momentum on increased efforts.
