A reflection on the state of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Timor Leste from 2008 to the present time with a focus on the effects of government decisions and NGO/UN Agency initiatives, frameworks and agreements in relation to the region.
By Lynch, M.J and Gregory, L.D. (2017).
Abstract
This paper examines existing source material that has been produced over the reflection time period (2013 to 2017). Through this the authors will determine whether principles of reflection in action (Schon, 1983) have been used by key stakeholders including the Timor Leste Government as part of the decision-making process influencing and determining the directions Timor Leste has taken in DRM. Examples of the materials used will be diary notes, reports, papers, government meeting minutes, NGO and representative meeting minutes and general comments from attendees and participants in events and meetings.
