Lao Hamutuk - Walking Together
The Timor-Leste Institute for Development Monitoring and Analysis

Updated January 2012

La’o Hamutuk (“Walking Together” in English) is a Timor-Leste civil society organization that monitors, analyzes and reports on the principal institutions in Timor-Leste as they relate to the physical, economic and social development of the country. La’o Hamutuk believes that the people of Timor-Leste must be the ultimate decision-makers in this process, which should be democratic and transparent.

La’o Hamutuk is an independent organization which works to facilitate effective Timorese participation in the reconstruction and development of the country. In addition, La’o Hamutuk works to improve communication between the international community and Timor-Leste’s people. Finally, La’o Hamutuk is a resource center, providing literature on development models, experiences and practices, as well as facilitating solidarity links between Timor-Leste groups and groups abroad with the aim of creating alternative development models.

La'o Hamutuk works in broad thematic areas: Natural Resources, Economy, Agriculture, Governance and Democracy.

More information about La'o Hamutuk and its publications, including our Bulletin, statements and Annual Reports, can be obtained at www.laohamutuk.org and on the back page of each Bulletin. For information about volunteering or interning at La'o Hamutuk, click here.
