Transport Sector Master Plan for East Timor

Abstract

In January 2002, ADB commissioned a short review and update of the reports prepared under TA 3401, in the light of recent changes and new information. The aim was to consolidate this work into an updated multimodal transport sector strategy and agenda that will contribute to the Government’s planning and preparation of the National Development Plan. The focus of the strategy is principally on physical planning, but it also considers institutional development, legal framework, cost recovery, and other policy issues. This report is organized into three sections: Part A covering general and cross-modal issues, Part B dealing with physical development of the road network and the roads administration, and Part C with the land transport, maritime, and aviation sectors. This division was made to report separately on the areas of responsibility of the two lead Ministries of Water and Public Works (MWPW) and Communication and Transport (MOCT).
