Timor-Leste, a least-developed small island nation of 1.3 million people, has made substantial progress since independence in 2002 but continues to face severe malnutrition and food insecurity, worsened by natural hazards. Stunting rates among children under five are among the world’s highest, 27% of households face acute food insecurity, and 75% cannot afford a nutritious diet, with food costs rising sharply. These challenges stem from low agricultural productivity, poor nutrition practices, high poverty, limited safety nets and frequent climatic shocks. WFP’s proposed five-year country strategic plan (aligned with national and UN frameworks for 2026–2030) focuses on three outcomes: 1) Strengthening government and partner capacities to prepare for and respond to shocks, with WFP able to support responses upon request; 2) Improving nutrition, human capital and livelihoods through enhanced national safety nets, including technical support to the school feeding programme; 3) Providing on-demand supply chain and procurement services to bolster national and partner response capacities. This plan builds on WFP’s earlier work and its strong partnership with the Government of Timor-Leste.
