This baseline survey was carried out for Phase 3 of the Integrated Community-Based Risk Reduction (ICBRR) Programme, implemented by Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (CVTL) with IFRC and funded by KOICA. It sets the starting point for measuring change in three target villages in Manufahi and Ainaro.
Data was collected in May 2025 from 384 households and 251 young people, plus key informant interviews. The water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) section covers sources of drinking water, water quality and storage, household latrines, handwashing and water treatment.
It finds that hygiene practices and water container cleaning are inconsistent, and recommends hygiene behaviour change and risk communication. The report also covers disaster risk reduction, climate change, livelihoods, health and nutrition, youth and National Society capacity.
