An investigation into the contribution of the national adult education system to the post-conflict reconstruction and development of East Timor

这一项目将增进我们对我们最近的邻国东帝汶的社会和文化的了解，以及对我们区域援助和发展动态的了解。澳大利亚成人教育界将学会更有效地同帝汶的发展进程相互作用，因为我们将试行一种可能适用于其他社区的办法，特别是那些有冲突历史和贫穷是一个主要问题的社区。资助机构将从更好地了解如何以成人教育援助为目标实现减贫和民主发展中受益。该项目将加强东帝汶政府利用成人教育政策提高该国生活水平的能力。

This project will improve our understanding of the society and culture of our closest neighbour, East Timor, and of the dynamics of aid and development in our region. The Australian adult education community will learn to interact more effectively with the development process in Timor, as we pilot an approach which may be applicable in other communities, particularly ones with histories of conflict and where poverty is a major issue. Funding agencies will benefit from understanding better how to target adult education aid to achieve poverty reduction and democratic development. The project will strengthen the capacity of the government of East Timor to use adult education policy to raise living standards in their country.
