Legal Reform in East Timor

Building on a decade of support for development in East Timor, The Asia Foundation launched a major law reform program in 2002 to respond to the needs of the newly independent nation. The Asia Foundation supports the legal development efforts of government and civil society to strengthen the justice system at the national and local levels. The East Timor program strengthens the accountability and transparency of the judicial system, assists in the development of effective and accessible legal aid services and alternative dispute resolution, and strengthens women’s access to justice.
