📝WaterAid Timor-Leste, through the HARIS Project, conducted a 3-day training on WASH, Climate Change, GEDSI, and Water Resource Management through Nature-based Solutions in Ermera Municipality from 2-4 September 2026, supported by the Australian NGO Cooperation Program ( ). The training was delivered with the support of the Municipal Authority and directly engaged village chiefs, representatives from the municipal government and relevant technical departments, including SMASA, MAFP, the Environment Department, SEI focal point, and civil society organisations, including RHTO, UNAER, TILOFE, and women’s associations, as well as implementing partners HDI and GFFTL.
🪴The training combined practical knowledge on climate change and its impacts on water resources, land, and community livelihoods with sessions on climate change, water security, GEDSI, and water resource management. Participants were introduced to practical Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) and their implementation, including retention ponds, check dams, (terracing/SALT).
In the opening remarks, the Secretary of Ermera Municipal Authority for Financing Affairs emphasised the importance of protecting and restoring these vital water sources, stating: “𝙒𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙮 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.”
These concerns closely connect with the focus of the training, which explored the impacts of climate change. Through continued learning and collaboration, the HARIS Project supports local actors to strengthen climate resilience and promote inclusive, sustainable, and community-centred WASH solutions in Ermera Municipality.🌾💧
