The Building Agribusiness Capacity in East Timor (BACET) project is designed to create a sustainable educational training program that will produce 150 entry-level agricultural extension specialists, agribusiness managers and/or entrepreneurs.
During the first quarter of 2008, the BACET program initiated a new phase of development, and now aims to transition all BACET management at the school level to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) during the next project phase. The program also completed school infrastructure projects initiated during the last quarter of 2007. During the month of March, three BACET Agribusiness teachers were sent for training at Padjadjaran University. During the last part of the quarter, two professors from the Agribusiness School of Padjadjaran University and a Cooperative Specialist came to Timor-Leste to train teachers on lessons planning, business planning, and cooperative management at both Natarbora and Fuiloro schools.
