BESIK 2’s goal is to improve the health and quality of life of rural people in Timor-Leste through three end-of-program goals:
- All levels of Government with well-functioning systems for effective policy development, planning and management for rural water supply and sanitation (through four specified outcomes).
- Rural communities have sustainable and equitable access to/utilisation of safe water (through twelve specified outcomes).
- Rural communities and selected schools have sustainable and equitable access to/utilisation of improved sanitation (through seven specified outcomes).
BESIK 2 was designed as an eight year program. Due to budget constraints the program is ending after four years. Australian support to the rural water supply, sanitation and hygiene (RWASH) sector will continue under a new program – the Australia Timor-Leste Partnership for Human Development (ATLPHD).
