Terms of Reference of thePermanent Technical Secretariat of KONSSANTIL
[Termo de referênsia do
Sekretariadu Tekniku Permanente Seguransa, Soberania Ai-han no Nutrisaun Timor-Leste]
1. The Framework [Enquadramentu]
The fundamental principle of Timor-Leste Constitution (article 1) which establish people’s will and
respect to human dignity. The Constitution also mentions government’s objective to guarantee and
promote the rights of the citizens to food as part of the basic human rights.

The fifth constitutional government is a continuation of the forth government which identified that
food security is a critical priority for overall development in Timor-Leste. The government’s
commitment to address food security is very significant which has been expressed in the V
government programme particularly under the Economic Sector Development. The Government
intended for Timor-Leste to have sufficient food and to have the agriculture production reach the
international market including basic food, livestock, fruits and vegetables as well as forest products
and fisheries production. This is consistent with the Constitution, the Strategic Development Plan and
align with the Comoro Declaration to eradicate poverty and malnutrition. Food security is an
important issue in Timor-Leste. Domestic production is inadequate to meet the national demand.
Availability of food is in concern thus Timor-Leste has to depend on food importation.
