Excited to be presenting on a panel with these stars at the Timor Leste Studies Association Conference this Friday!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Marka iha imi nia kalendariu no partisipa!

Amazing work from Rede ba Rai. Parabens!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our training on the Definition of Land Ownership Law (Law 13/2017)!

We talked about basic concepts of land rights, the definition of possession, what land registration processes should look like and how land ownership disputes should be resolved according to the law. The members of Rede ba Rai brought fascinating real cases which helped us to apply what we learnt to the real world. And of course, we had a lot of fun along the way playing our new land law card game!

Participants asked some big questions:
-Is the law fair?
-How will community property and community protection zones be protected in the future?
-What kind of incentives can be provided to spouses to make joint declarations as mandated in Article 32.7?
-When will a law regulating eviction processes be approved?

Big thanks to Maun Mariano from La'o Hamutuk who shared a presentation on Rede ba Rai's research on the impact of the SNC land registration process on vulnerable populations.
