The Alola Foundation's work also includes extensive research on issues relevant to women's health, gender equality and gender rights, peacebuilding and cultural preservation. Many of our staff are well-trained researchers who collaborate with other NGOs and government agencies in the production of high-quality reports. To ensure the quality of our work, we also conduct independent evaluations of some of our programs.

Yayasan Pecinta Budaya Bebali (YPBB), Threads of Life (TOL) and Esperanza Timor-Leste which all focus on economic development through communiy-based revival of the traditional textile arts, have been trying to establish a working relationship between the networks of weavers that they served since 2006. Although political problems and social unrest in Timor-Leste have disrupted this process, YPBB/TOL and Esperanza continue to seek deeper ties due to the logic of reconnecting Indonesian and Timor-Leste weavers from closely related cultural, ethnic and language groups, and the opportunity to participate in building peace and reconciliation between Indonesia and Timor-Leste. For ten days in May 2009, two YPBB staff and three TOL staff visited textiles weaving groups in Lautem, Baucau, and Bobonaro along with a visit to basket makers in Liquica and Lautem to make an initial assessment and to plan future collaborations. This report focuses on that visit and YPBB's observations and recommendations.
