OUR ORGANISATION

Fundação Carbon Offset Timor (FCOTI) is a Timorese organisation founded by locals with the support of its long time partner GTNT Group. FCOTI was formally registered as a foundation at The Ministry of Justice of Timor-Leste in October 2018 to undertake voluntary carbon offsetting initiatives that have been established in two rural villages of Timor-Leste, Laclubar and later Soibada, since 2009.

 

Since its formal registration, FCOTI has partnered with local communities, government institutions and various other organizations such as GTNT, UNDP, GiZ through GOPA, Interwork Group, Darwin Initiative, Charles Sturt University, World Vision, and local organizations such as RAEBIA to implement carbon offsetting projects.

Staffed primarily by local Timorese, today FCOTI’s activities have spread across Timor-Leste territory to other municipalities including Manatuto, Dili, Liquiça and Viqueque.


 

International certification

Through its Halo Verde Community Forest Carbon Project, FCOTI has obtained international certification from Edinburgh-based Plan Vivo Foundation. As of mid-2021, the project has obtained nearly 20,000 tonnes of certified credits of which nearly 200 tonnes have been sold in the international market.

Through this project, FCOTI has planted more than 250,000 trees of which more than 150,000 are under management for carbon credit markets. FCOTI has involved more than 1000 small-holder individual farmers and more than 150 households.
