Timor-Leste: Nabilan Phase 2 Independent Evaluation

Summary of publication

This review report and summary report provides an independent evaluation of the Nabilan program in Timor-Leste.

The purpose of the review was to assess Nabilan’s progress against its end of program outcomes with an emphasis on Phase 2 programming with a view to informing the design process for Phase 3. The Review was undertaken by a team of four from DESI Consulting, two in-country consultants and two working remotely.

The major finding is Nabilan is a universally respected program, providing high quality support to Government and civil society organisations delivering services to victims of domestic violence, and engaging in advocacy and prevention of domestic violence. There is strong evidence Nabilan’s partners provide increasingly high-quality inclusive services across a number of services including counselling, medical forensic examinations, case management, emergency accommodation and legal aid. Nabilan has accompanied partners over many years to build their institutional and organisational capacity, in addition to their technical capacity, which has contributed to their sustainability and resilience.
