The Food Security Bulletin is part of the national information and early warning system which provides up to date contextual information on the state of food and nutrition security in Timor-Leste. WFP provides technical support in the analysis through the Inter-Ministerial Council for Food Security, Food Sovereignty and Nutrition (KONSSANTIL).
