English version
KLATU commissioners including the President of KLATU held a meeting on January 28, 2026. The meeting was held at the Ministry of Justice Hall, Colmera, Dili. KLATU President Dr. Nelinho Vital chaired the session to discuss the issue of evaluating the progress of the work in 2025 and the implementation plan of the Commission’s program in 2026.
The fiscal budget allocation to the KLATU Commission in the last two years is very minimal; in 2024 KLATU will receive an allocation of USD 68,184, in 2025, USD 46,705, and in 2026 will receive an allocation of USD 50,939. Meanwhile, many of the Commission’s plans have not been realized, for example; there is no budget for the protection of victims of human trafficking, no budget for the training of law enforcement officers, no socialization activities, and no shelter for victims. Every year the US government collects information and publishes a report on efforts to combat human trafficking in each country in the world, including Timor-Leste. in recent years, Timor-Leste has received Tier 2 and Tier 2 Watch list. This means that we have made efforts but not enough to meet the requirements of the UN Protocol against the crime of trafficking in human beings. When a country is Tier 3 (categorized as a blacklist) the US must end support or cooperation with that country.
The budget in the last three years allocated to KLATU has been greatly affected by the implementation of activities, from the budget can only be paid to cover the salaries of employees at the Secretariat. Given the commission’s great role as enshrined on the NAP itself in the context of combating and preventing human trafficking crimes in Timor-Leste.
The National Action Plan(NAP) approved by the Council of Ministers on 25 July 2025 serves as a guideline for five years (2026-2030). The NAP needs to be socialized to each key relevant Ministries to know the contents of the NAP. because NAP is a national policy to combat the crime of human trafficking in Timor-Leste. The production of the NAP is supported by UN Women and clearly counts on the contribution of all relevant entities during data collection in January and February 2025.
Despite budget limitations, KLATU continues to work with national and international partners to carry out activities to prevent, empower and protect the rights of victims of human trafficking. Furthermore, try to socialize the NAP in 2026.
