“Chega! Women for Peace” is a training manual developed by NGO Asosiasaun Chega! Ba ita (ACbit) with inputs from Timorese women, with the technical support of UN Women in Timor-Leste, and funded by the Government of Japan.

Designed for adult learners, it provides trainers & leaders with culturally appropriate tools and expertise to deliver the principles of two important documents on peace building in Timor-Leste; The National Action Plan (NAP) on the UN Security Resolution 1325 (Women, Peace and Security) and the Chega! Report (the final report of Timor-Leste’s Truth and Reconciliation Reception).The manual also compliments other training manuals which focus on the transmission of more specific skills in leadership, mediation, conflict resolution, and trauma healing.
