Nationwide Civic
Education Campaign
USAID, through the Small Grants Program, is supporting three Timorese
organizations--East Timor Insight (ETIS), Bibi Bulak Group, and
Radio Rakambia--to conduct a nationwide civic education campaign
called "Do you want to Know? Find Out Yourself!" for
the communities in 65 locations around the country. The campaign
will use locally made civic education videos, proven to be one
of the most powerful media in Timor-Leste, to inform people about
civic responsibilities, improved health, gender equality and protecting
the environment. Campaigns will run from January through March
and hope to reach populations that are currently out of reach
of the national broadcaster Televizaun Timor-Leste. (January 14,
