Luta ba Futuru (LbF)
Luta ba Futuru was founded on 7 November 2008 in Timor Leste by a group of activists. It is aiming increased awareness of the people of Manufahi and Ainaro district (Eastern part of Timor Leste) to control and take active participation role in the local development process through Civic Education, Monitoring to the Decentralization Plan Process, Social Audit, Disaster Risk Management and Natural Resource Management. Currently there are nine staff (3 of them are female) working at the secretariat.
The organization adopted four main strategies to achieve its goal which are: increasing people's understanding related to the local development and the separation of the municipalities; increasing people awareness on the fund allocation process from national to district level, increasing community understanding on the importance of social audit and strengthening the network among the government institutions and other non governmental organizations in the local development processess.
In mid 2009 Luta ba Futuro coordinate with the Manufahi development monitoring network was able to widely influence the community to demand the government and the local companies to be accountable and responsible for the irregularites and the poor qualities of the local development plans such as the road and bridge construction, the issue of power electricity, cash for work, etc, at the district level. There was an immediate response from companies and the government to improve their work and now communities can enjoy the service provided in the district.
