Results of ADB-supported Operations: Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste became a member of ADB in 2002, the year in which it formally became an independent state. ADB assistance to Timor-Leste over 1999–2005 concentrated on emergency infrastructure.
Recently, Timor-Leste has initiated a new development phase, funded by offshore petroleum revenue. The country aims to achieve a high rate of sustainable economic growth through the conversion of its petroleum wealth into human and physical capital. In 2011–2015, ADB will help the government achieve this fast tracking of development by supporting the upgrading of the country’s infrastructure and other complementary initiatives.
Development Outputs from ADB-Supported Projects in Timor-Leste, 2004-2011
As of 31 Dec 2011 Download Excel file
| Sector/Output | Outputs Delivered |
|---|---|
| Transport | |
| National highways and provincial, district, and rural roads built or upgraded (kilometers) | 138 |
| Beneficiaries from road projects (number) | 500,000 |
|
The table includes projects completed during the period, and funded by ADB's ordinary capital resources, special fund resources, which include the Asian Development Fund and other special funds, cofinanciers, and the government. The outputs presented are limited to ADB's core sectors, as defined under Strategy 2020 and tracked through indicators in the ADB Results Framework. ADB monitors progress on these outputs in the annual Development Effectiveness Review. The numbers represent the sum of outputs and beneficiaries of individual projects. Therefore, the beneficiary numbers reported under education—teachers trained, and students benefitting from school improvement programs or direct support—include those who benefited from more than one project.
