The SHINE–C initiative aims to address significant knowledge gaps in health, nutrition, and livelihoods identified among target groups in Timor-Leste. The Action will employ strategies focused on:

improving understanding of integrated nutrition, WASH, and sexual reproductive health to foster healthier behaviors at individual and community levels;
-
enhancing access to quality primary healthcare services, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and women, by boosting the capacity of healthcare workers;
-
improving food security through access to nutrient-rich foods via sustainable farming and clean water.
