Development Effectiveness Brief: Timor-Leste Laying the Foundation for Prosperity
Asian Development Bank | November 2015
Abstract
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been supporting Timor-Leste’s development since 1999,
3 years before the country gained independence. ADB’s assistance has been concentrated on helping
the government build a broad-based, non-oil economy through supportive investments in the national
road network, urban water supply, and technical and vocational education and training. Related technical
assistance has focused on infrastructure management, financial and private sector development,
preparations for regional economic integration, and regional cooperation on marine conservation. As of
December 2014, ADB had provided 5 loans totaling $101.78 million, 5 Asian Development Fund grants worth
$85.00 million, and 43 technical assistance grants amounting to $37.55 million.
