This study aims to describe the efforts of the MCC through the Threshold program in preventing measles in Timor-Leste. This study assessed by using the concept of development aid and community empowerment. The locus of this study is from 2011 to 2013. Keywords: measles, Timor-Leste, MCC, Threshold Program
