The preservation of documentary heritage in Timor Leste has received a boost with the official launch of the National Committee of Timor Leste for Memory of the World (MOW) in early December 2016. The launch event was supported by UNESCO through the Malaysia-UNESCO Cooperation Programme (MUCP) in cooperation with the Timor Leste National Commission for UNESCO and the State Secretariat for Art and Culture of Timor Leste and included a two-day capacity building workshop with local stakeholders on 1 and 2 December.
