The To’os Ba Moris Di’ak Program (TOMAK) is a A$25 million, 5–10-year agricultural livelihoods program funded by the Australian Government in Timor-Leste. Its goal is to ensure rural households live more prosperous and sustainable lives.
The Assignment
During Phase 1, TOMAK promoted the uptake of agricultural technologies as a mechanism to increase agricultural production and productivity. Labour-saving agricultural technologies were piloted through program-established farmer field schools.
The aim of the pilot was two-fold: to promote labour-saving technologies while supporting farmers to manage the risk involved in adopting new technologies; and to address challenges mobilising labour during COVID-19 when many public health measures such as restricted movement and group gatherings meant that traditional labour mobilisation methods such as relying on neighbours and relatives were no longer possible.
TOMAK is seeking an external consultant to build on the experience of promoting specific labour-saving technologies through a targeted assessment.
