Research that works for developing countries and AustraliaEast Timor - Priorities
PrioritiesPriorities for collaboration are determined through discussions, interactions and visits between scientists and research managers from East Timor, ACIAR and Australian research institutions. ACIAR will address priorities within the framework of cropping, livestock, fisheries and forestry, where partner capacity will be crucial in determining collaboration. While the program will remain small, further assistance may be considered in special areas of need, particularly in addressing food security, resource protection and capacity development. The program will continue to emphasise applied research and the development of local capacity for applied R&D to increase food security. Within this focal area possible new areas for collaboration include research on addressing constraints on production, the analysis and improvement of market chains for major commodities, development of feed resource and reproductive management strategies for cattle and other livestock, and land capacity assessment and mapping to reduce risk in cropping and grazing. |
