In 2016, the Infrastructure Fund was transformed into autonomous fund in order to eliminate some
difficulties faced during the project implementation. As autonomous agency the Fund can retain the
unspent budget at the end of each fiscal year that to be added by the National Parliament to a new
approved budget in the following year.
The following review will present historical and financial aspects of the Infrastructure Fund, as well
as management of the Fund, strategic aspect and planning issues.
1.1 INFRASTRUCTURE FUND IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK
A. INFRASTRUCTURE FUND AS SPECIAL FUND (2011 – 2015)
The Infrastructure Fund is one of the special funds which was established according to the Law No
1/2011 of February 14 in 2011. Decree Law No 8/2011 set the regulation of the Infrastructure Fund
and defined the Infrastructure Fund purpose and objectives.
During the implementation of this special fund in 2011-2015 there were some functional limitations
that affected to the project implementation such as budget rollover of unspent budget at the end of
each fiscal year to the succeeding year and related project delay. By the end of 2015 the Government
transformed the Infrastructure Fund into autonomous fund with the main intention to eliminate above
mentioned functional limitations.
B. INFRASTRUCTURE FUND AS AUTONOMOUS FUND (2015 – 2017)
The legal framework of the Infrastructure Fund as the autonomous agency is based on the State
Budget Law No. 1/2016 and Decree Law No.13/2016 as the substitution of Decree Law № 8/2011.
The transformation of Special Fund into Autonomous Fund has an intention to alleviate functional
limitations existed during the implementation of the IF since its establishment. Now it is able to retain
unspent funds each year which automatically transfer forward to succeeding years. These changes
enable to reallocate IF resources in a more efficient, transparent and accountable manner.
3
Moreover, the autonomous arrangement would also be expected to operate efficiently, as the payment
process of IF funded project will be directly from the Infrastructure Fund to the Central Bank.
By eliminating the treasury role under the Ministry of Finance in the infrastructure project payment
process, it is expected the payment workflow shall be simplified which will shorten the processing
time of the payment process. However, the IF needs to establish its own treasury to assume the role of
treasury at the Ministry of Finance. In The 2016 fiscal year CAFI established a treasury unit under the
Major Project Secretariat (MPS) to assume the treasury role in the payment execution.
As a result, from 2017 the Infrastructure funds has fully operated under the autonomous arrangement,
except the disbursement of loan funded project that are currently still be undertaken by the Treasury
of the Ministry of Finance.
1.2 FINANCIAL ASPECTS
The Infrastructure Fund budget since 2011 to 2017 for program and project implementation has been
approved and allocated to the Infrastructure Fund to finance IF Programs, including Public Private
Partnership and External Loan financed programs. Details of budget allocation and disbursement for
each program during 2015 -2017 are presented in the Table A above and the following section.
A. BUDGET ALLOCATION AND DISBURSEMENT IN 2017
The budget for 2017 approved by the National Parliament and promulgated by the President of
Republic of Timor-Leste on 9th
December 2016 in reference to Law no. 13/2016 for 2017 state budget
of US$ 324.43 million including US$ 101,83 million from external loans. Summary of each program
and budget allocation for 2017 is presented in the following Table 2.
Details of budget allocation per project and program are presented in the State Budget Book 3A for 2017.
Table 2. Summary of Budget Allocations and Expenditures in 2017 as of June 3, 2017

B. BUDGET ALLOCATION AND DISBURSEMENT IN 2016
In 2016 a total budget allocation after the rectification was amounted to US$ 783,67 million,
including external loans of US$ 107 million. The initial approved budget by National Parliament for
Fiscal Year 2016 was US$ 392.96 including US$ 107 million sourced from external loans. This
original amount was rectified in July 2016 by the National Parliament in responding to the proposed
budget rectification by the Government due to some major projects contracts signed by Government
which required large advance payments to be made to contractors in 2016. These projects include
Tibar Bay Port Development under PPP modality, Suai Supply Base and Dili Drainage improvement
works. Furthermore, some large projects such as Southern Coast Highway, Dili urban roads
improvements are also progressing well which required an additional fund to respond to the high
volume of expected payment in 2016. In addition, the Government has committed to settle all the
outstanding debt from 2013 onward prior to the change of government and the appointment of new
Government members in 2017. The outstanding debt was mainly from Roads, Bridges and Power
sectors.
Therefore, the total budget allocation after the rectification was amounted to US$ 783,67 million,
including external loans of US$ 107 million. By the end of 2016 a total of US$ 548,84 million was
disbursed or 70% execution rate, with the detail of each program presented in the following Table 3.

1.3 ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECT
To ensure effective implementation of the projects, the Government established the Council for
Administration of the Infrastructure Fund (CAFI), as the executive body with authority over the
decision making process for all matters related to Infrastructure Fund projects and to provide policy
guidance to the implementing agencies or line ministries.
In the implementation stage, CAFI is supported primarily by the Major Project Secretariat (MPS) in
managing day to day operation of the fund. The following sections will describe further detail of the
IF management body in managing the fund during the project planning and budgeting, project
implementation, including four agencies that play an important roles in the IF project implementation.
A. INFRASTRUCTURE FUND MANAGEMENT (CAFI)
From 2011 – 2015 under IF as special fund, the CAFI was comprised of a Chairperson and three
permanent Members as follows:
The Prime Minister – Chairperson,
The Minister of Finance – Member,
The Minister of Public Works – Member,
The Minister Transport and Communications – Member.
The new management board of Infrastructure Fund was restructured in March 2015 to accommodate
changes as a result of government re-modeling done in 2015 based on the Council of Ministers
meeting on March 27, 2015. The new chairperson and permanent members of CAFI are as follows:
The Minister of Planning and Strategic Investment – President,
Minister of Public Works, Transport and Communications – Member,
Minister of Finance – Member.
7
The Major Projects Secretariat (MPS) is established to perform key functions as specified in the
regulation of IF, as well as provide technical and administrative support to CAFI in close coordination
with National Development Agency (ADN) and National Procurement Commission (CNA). In
particular, the role of MPS in addition to support CAFI meetings is to carry out preliminary appraisal
of project proposals and provide recommendations on project viability as well as financing options to
CAFI. MPS also execute payments based on recommendations from ADN by Commitment Payment
Vouchers (CPVs), Purchase Orders (POs) and Purchase Requisitions (PRs), Journal Voucher, and TPO.
Field inspection of projects funded from IF is carried out by ADN, which is assigned responsibility to
ensure that projects are implementing according to approved specifications (ensuring the quality of
projects). ADN raises recommendations on the payment of invoices prior to submission to MPS for
final review and presentation to Treasury for settlement. ADN is also responsible for review of Design
and Study, Drawings and Bills of Quantities (BoQ) and for final review of tender documents before
submission to NPC which executes procurement process for works contractors and service providers.
Line Ministries and implementing Agencies (owners of projects) are responsible for identifying a
project, presentation of project brief to CAFI, preparation of project documents for tender, signing
contract agreements, implementation monitoring and management of the projects, submitting of project
progress and/or final reports and raising certifications for payments. CNA handles the procurement of
contractors and supervision consultants for the implementation of projects in the IF portfolio.
The implementation of fund involves two stages, which are the planning, and budgeting, and budget
execution through the project implementation. Process of planning and budgeting, budget execution of
infrastructure funds, include agencies involved as presented in the following may take one whole year.
Figure 7. Process of Project Approval
As illustrated by the chart above the Process of Project Approval in Timor-Leste, the projects proposed
by LMs intended for utilizing the Infrastructure Fund are required to pass the approvals of MPS, CAFI,
BRC (Budget Review Commission), Parliament, and President of President of the Democratic Republic
of Timor-Leste. Since the submission of project proposals by Line Ministries starts at March and the
final approval is given by the President in December or the next January, this whole process normally
takes more than nine months. It is noteworthy that MPS plays a very important role in this approving
process by conducting the work of project appraisal and screening, which takes approximately four
months every year.

After the LM receives the notification of approval for a specific project, the LM can start
implementation of the project and the procurement of service and relevant equipment. The process of
procurement normally includes 3 steps and involves four government agencies, i.e. the LM, ADN
(National Development Agency), MPS and NPC (National Procurement Commission) as reflected by
the following chart.
Figure 8. Process of Procurement
After a project contractor complete its work of service and/or equipment provision, it can request for
payment by submitting the invoice and work completion certificate and other relevant documents to
the LM, and the series of verifications including on-site inspection will be conducted by the Line
Ministry (LM), National Development Agency (AND), MPS and the treasury before the payment
conducted by Central Bank at the request of the Treasury.
The description above shows that MPS is involved in all three processes required for the completion
of a project using the budget of Infrastructure Fund because the work of verification of documents
relevant to payment request arises all the year round. The next section, will describe further detail on
the day to day management of the Funds, which primarily handled by the Major Project Secretariat
(MPS) on behalf of CAFI, including the organizational arrangement and staffing requirement t

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT AND PAYMENT TRACKING SYSTEM
Since the establishment, many projects have already being financed through the infrastructure funds,
where most of the contract are multiannual duration, in which a good documentation and tracking
system are required to manage the contract, including monitoring the progress of the project.
To response to this need, in 2014, the MPS has developed the payment tracking system and document
management, where all the document related to the payment process of a project are stored. The
following figure shows the result of the payment tracking and document management system that can
be used to support the preparation of the report on the Infrastructure Fund project execution.
PAYMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
The system transforms the logic workflow for the IF payment process, presented in the previous
section, into electronic process. This system is used to register the main data of the projects and to
monitor the status of payment requests process in MPS.
Figure 16. Payment Process of Electronic Workflow
15
PAYMENT REPORTING SYSTEM
The system produces the reports based on the data introduced in the Payment Monitoring System.
These reports are mainly used to support the preparation of the reports for the IF projects’ execution.
The Payment Reporting System summarizes the data from the databases of the Payment Monitoring
System. The report is presented in forms, lists, tables and graphics. The following figure shows one of
the graphics generated by the system which can be used to support the reports preparation regarding
the IF projects execution.
Figure 17. Example of the usage of Payment Tracking and Document Management System
E-DOCUMENTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The system archives all of the electronic documents of MPS. This system reduces significantly time
required to process a payment request in MPS which results in the higher execution rate since 2014.

Figure 18. e-Document Management System
CORRESPONDENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The system is used to register correspondence of all the incoming and outgoing letters of MPS. This
system provides the facility to search a correspondence letter with external institutions.

1.4 PLANNING AND STRATEGIC POLICY
Infrastructure Fund was established as an instrument to help realize the long-term objective of the
country as has underlined in the Strategic Development Plan 2011- 2030 which is focusing on strong
economic grow, healthy and well-educated people. Therefore, CAFI conducts proper planning and
budgeting for the infrastructure development in Timor Leste. And MPS performs technical support
in-line with the infrastructure planning and budgeting of Infrastructure Fund.
The main function of the Major Project Secretariat according to the Decree Law No. 13/2016 for
Infrastructure Funds is to provide technical and administration support to the Council of
Administration of the Infrastructure Fund (CAFI), including the following support:
- Project Planning and Feasibility Study,
- Project Appraisal and Cost-benefit Estimation,
- Budget projection and Budget Book preparation,
- Project Implementation and Execution,
- Payment Controlling tracking System,
- Progress Monitoring and Reporting,
- Database and GIS Development,
- CAFI meetings overall Support.
The following Figure 20 provide a general overview of the MPS role and function in providing the
technical support to CAFI in managing the IF projects including the deliverable reports.

A. FEASIBILITY STUDY, PROJECT APPRAISAL AND BUDGETING
Infrastructure planning aspect has mainly taken the reference from the National Strategic
Development Plan (SDP) of 2011 -2030. The line ministry, as the owner of the project should have
sectorial planning, which is a five year is planning document, that extract the long-term planning
from the SDP. Each line ministry, then further proposed a project to be financed in the Infrastructure
Fund in the annual action plan.
In terms of the implementation of Infrastructure Fund, the following planning and strategic policy
framework have been developed between 2015 and 2017 by MPS under the supervision of CAFI,
which are required to help ensure that the fund is invested in the most strategic areas that will
promote the transparency and accountable in the decision-making process.
The following Figure 21 presents the interlink between the planning and budgeting of under the
Infrastructure Funds, that the MPS provides technical support in the preparation of the project
planning and budgeting of the project that financed through the IF.
Figure 21. Interconnection of Planning, budgeting and Feasibility Study
The planning instrument in the infrastructure fund is mainly the appraisal and prioritization of the
project proposal to be financed in the fund, from the line ministry. During the last years (2015 –
2017) the Major Project Secretariat, has developed the project appraisal and evaluation framework,
that can be used evaluate and prioritize the project proposal. The process of appraisal by MPS is
based on multi-criteria analysis of project proposals in respect to importance and readiness of projects
for scoring and comparative ranking.
The project evaluation methodology is taking into account contribution to the Strategic Development
Plan of Timor-Leste 2011 - 2030 (SDP) because of connection to strategic priorities and goals for
major sector, evaluation of economic impact of the project in terms of economic viability and
profitability, dependence of infrastructure and readiness of the project for construction, environmental
and social effect, as well as resettlement requirement and land availability of the Project.
19
FEASIBILITY STUDY
FS (Feasibility study) is an assessment of the practicality of the project, which should be conducted at
the beginning the project to know if the project is good and justified. In Timor Leste, the standard
procedure of conducting the feasibility study is not available and many feasibility studies have
referred to some best practice available such as ADB, WB, IFC, JICA, and still many international
agencies operating around the world. Sometime, this best practice is not fit into our purpose in Timor
Leste, due to data limitation, lack institutional knowledge on the subject, and more importantly un-
clarity of the legal framework on the feasibility study itself.
The following Figure 22 represents that many project proposal that normally submitted by the line
ministry to the CAFI for funding do not have feasibility study. Instead, most of the projects were only
concept that directly goes to Detailed Engineering Design (DED) and construction.
Absence of Feasibility Study for the most of the infrastructure project for Infrastructure Fund brings a
lot of problems and consequences which are as follows:
Project delay;
Project cost overrun due to variation order;
Resettlement and land availability issue;
No transparency and accountability.
Figure 22. Project Proposal for Analysis and Issue
Therefore in 2016 CAFI directed the Major Project Secretariat to start a process of development of
framework on the project feasibility for project that potentially be financed through the IF fund. The
framework, standard, an d methodology to conduct a feasibility for a project was further transformed
into the feasibility study guideline, which will be described further detail in the following section.
In 2016, MPS with the technical assistant from JICA expertise have developed the standard procedure
and guideline on how to conduct the project feasibility study that is in line with the infrastructure
workflow, considering the data limitation, and agencies involve in the preparation of the project. The
following flow chart provides a general overview and understanding of the FS and the staging of the
project development.
20
Figure 23. Outline of the process of a project assessment
In 2016, CAFI supervised the Major Project Secretariat work make use JICA technical assistant to
the Ministry of Planning and Strategic Investment to formulate the framework and standard guideline
on how to conduct the Feasibility Study (FS) for the major infrastructure investment project in
Timor Leste. The draft of project feasibility study guideline was presented in the seminar held by the
Major Project Secretariat in 21 – 22 of February 2017 to all the line ministries that are implementing
the IF funded projects in Timor Leste.
The CAFI shall endorse the guideline of the feasibility study to the Council of Ministry to further approve
the method and standard. The following figure shows the project preparation and budgeting process by
incorporating the project feasibility study as one of the requirement prior to the budgetary approve.
Figure 24. Project Preparation and Budgeting Framework
Moreover, the result of the good preparation of the project through the due diligent work in the feasibility
study will provide better information to support the decision-making so that the infrastructure
development really promotes the transparency, accountability and a good decision to the project that
worth the value for money. Requirement of FS for project preparation prior to funding will help to
improve quality of projects and lead to cost and time saving during project implementation.

The evaluation grade for projects varies from 0 to 3 (minimum" red", maximum "green"). In case of
changing the scale, for example, from 1 to 10 or from 0 to 100% the meaning of evaluation still
remain the same because of concept that the higher score the better project in terms of importance for
economy and readiness of the project for funding.

The Algorithm of project appraisal from project brief to priority project Map according the
methodology of comparative evaluation is presented on the Figure 27 below.
Figure 27. The Algorithm of Project Appraisal
I Step. The project appraisal is starting from express analysis of project brief. The main goal of this
step is to filter projects in case if the budget is less than $1 million, a project is not relevant to
infrastructure sector or not relevant to SDP strategic investment area.
II Step. After filtering, all project proposals go through multi-criteria evaluation and get grade for
every of 8 criteria. The result of criteria from 1 to 4 shows the importance of the project in terms of
strategic development sector, social and economic impact. The criteria from 5 to 8 show the readiness
of project for funding in terms of required licenses and documents for planning and construction,
additional infrastructure and land.
III Step. The final result of project appraisal is the Priority projects Map with overall score and clear
division of all projects for three categories: (1) Important and Ready (I&R), (2) Important but not Ready
(I&NR), (3) Ready but less Important (R&LI).
The project appraisal tool is currently developed and computerized with the above mentioned eight
criteria into the computer system. The end-result of this computerize system would be the computer
code or software that can be used as a tool to evaluate the project proposal submitted by the line
ministry in the MPS.
In order provide comprehensive project appraisal and evaluation for a given project, the input
information related to the project is required. The input information is mainly to answer the above
eight evaluation criteria. The historical review of the project indicated that many projects, were not
well prepared. The following figure, shows the classification.

BUDGETING
Every year the government proposed annual state budget to National Parliament for the approval prior
to the execution of the budget. Although Infrastructure Fund budget book is an integral part of the
State Budget, the IF budget book is standalone, as one budget book, which known as Budget Book 6
(2011-2015) or Budget Book 3A (2016 – 2017). The MPS, on behalf of CAFI, has been taking the
role in preparing the book budget every year in the past 5 years for the infrastructure projects and
program.
The budget for infrastructure was allocated to cover the existing on-going project that already has
contracts and to cover also the new projects that the government approved through the CAFI, COM,
and other government entities during any fiscal year. The calculation of budget allocation for each
project or program was made based on the following information
- Contractual obligation and projection of disbursement of each project in the following year
- New approved project lists and total budget requirement for the first year of project
implementation
For the contract obligation, MPS has the necessary information related to the total contract for each
project and the financial status (historical payment). The MPS team would work together with the line
ministry, NPC, and ADN to make a projection on the disbursement for the following fiscal year by
taking into consideration of the physical progress presented by ADN and historical progress made by
the line ministry through the contractor. Based on this information, the projected allocated budget for
each project and IF projects can be calculated. The value of this calculated amount will be the
minimum funds that must be available in the next year IF budget.
In addition to the existing on-going project, the IF would also consider the budget allocation for the
new IF projects that was appraised to be included in the following year of financing option. The
priority list of IF projects to be considered in the funding was made during the annual project
appraisal exercise made by the MPS on behalf of CAFI. If the budget is available after allocated to
existing ongoing contract, then the amount after the deduction of total IF budget ceiling and the on-
going project would be allocated for the new projects.
Figure 28. IF Budget Component and Project Coverage

Using the above information, the MPS shall draft the IF budget book. The IF Budget Book
summarizes strategic programs and projects which are in-line with SDP and approved by the National
Parliament. The SDP has very important meaning for investment which consists of 6 integral parts
and covers all strategic sectors for twenty year vision 2011 - 2030. The Budget Book for
Infrastructure Fund is an integral part of the General State Budget and the main interconnection tool
for investment which includes 21 programs related to SDP priorities.
Budget planning is an integral part of planning process of Infrastructure Fund. Based on the proposals
for next fiscal year Major Project Secretariat prepares budget projection for infrastructure project
Portfolio and sends it to the Ministry of Finance. The State Budget Book 3A for Infrastructure Fund
becomes an official document after approval by the Parliament of Timor-Leste.

Figure 29. Interconnection between SDGs, SDP and IF Programs and Projects
Since 2011 up to 2016 the Infrastructure Fund budget was presented together with the Human Capital
Development Fund in the State Budget Book 6 “Special Funds”. In 2017 according to the new
regulation as autonomous fund the Infrastructure Fund is listed in the State Budget Book 3A.
The Infrastructure Fund Budget Book provides detailed description of each program, including
purpose of the program and area of investment, total number of projects under the program, current
status of projects which are listed in the portfolio and key results of project implementation, as well as
allocated budget to cover IF projects under the program for 2017.
The source of financing for implementation of infrastructure projects under the Infrastructure Fund
according to the Budget Book is from both State budget and External loans. In summary, a total
budget of $ 324.43 million in 2017 has been allocated to the Infrastructure Fund. The Loan Financing
program requires a budget in 2017 for on-going and new projects with total allocation of $ 101.83
million, while the state source of financing is amounted to $ 222.6 million.

B. PAYMENT EXECUTION
As an executing agency, CAFI also has a competency by law to disburse the IF budget that approved
by PN through the payment to the project that implemented by the contractor on behalf of line
ministry as project owner. The workflow payment execution of IF funded project which is presented
on Figure 30 involves four agencies, as presented earlier (LM, NPC, AND, MPS) in order to provide
check and balance and ensure the accountability of the budget execution.
1. The workflow for the period 2011 – 2016 under special arrangement is provided as followed:
The Line Ministry as the owner of a project receives a payment claim from a Contractor
which is implementing the project. The Line Ministry as implementation agency of the fund,
works together with the contractor on the daily basis and prepares a payment certificate and
approves an invoice claimed by the Contractor;
2. The Line Ministry, then sends the payment document to ADN to verify and to prove the work
accomplished by the Contractor. The ADN has a competence to modify the amount claimed
based on verification to the actual progress made by the Contractor;
3. The ADN then, submits the payment document with the verification report and payment
recommendation to the Major Project Secretariat (MPS) to execute the fund by sending the
payment request to treasury of the Ministry of Finance to further process the payment to the
Contractor;
4. Based on the payment document (CPV, PO, EV, PRT), submitted by MPS, the treasury will
advise the Central Bank to release the payment from the IF account to the Contractor bank
account.
The financial process workflow for MPS has been modified in 2017 in responding the de-
centralization of payment process from Ministry of Finance to the Infrastructure Fund as an
autonomous agency. So IF payments no longer processed through the Ministry of Finance. In this
regard MPS can authorize and process payment for execution directly to the Central Bank.
The process of payment execution for projects under IF in MPS includes payment verification, then
preparation of Commitment payment voucher (CPV) and a Payment request (PR). Next step of
process of payment execution is certifying of Payment requisition (PRT) and preparation of Expense
voucher (EV). And after that next step is approval of PR, CPV and PRT by Vice-Director of MPS.
1. Commitment payment voucher (CPV) and a Payment request (PR) is the first step of process
preparation of the payment;
2. Based on CPV/PR and payment documents, the MPS requests the National Procurement
Commission (NPC) to generate the Purchase Order (PO). The NPC then sends PO to MPS to
start a payment process, which includes generation EV, PRT, and TPO;
3. TPO will be sent to the Central Bank together with the recommendation to the Central Bank to
transfer the payment from IF account to the contractor’s account.
The Treasury function is to approve an Expense voucher (EV) and then to prepare and to approve a
Treasury payment order (TPO) and a Check for the Central Bank. After approval the payment is
ready for releasing and processing through the Central Bank.

Accounting and Department of Treasury of Major Project Secretariat.

C. CAFI FACILITATION
Council of Administration of Infrastructure Fund (CAFI) is the management of IF which is
responsible for project approval, budget allocation for IF programs and projects and other issues
according to the Decree Law No.13/2016 and decide any issue that related to the IF project
implementation MPS, as the agency that provide the administration and technical support, will
assumed the role of CAFI facilitation, so that CAFI can make decision on the issue or problem related
to the IF project implementation.
There are two types of CAFI meeting, ordinary and extraordinary meeting. Ordinary meeting is a
regular meeting that conducted based on request from line ministries and government agencies.
Normally, line ministries raise project issues to MPS or board of CAFI for consideration. After
reviewed the issues, MPS prepares agenda of CAFI meeting and provides technical notes to inform
the relevant Ministers and CAFI members for their consideration in making decision.
In contrast, extraordinary meeting is a meeting that conducted based on request from members of
CAFI and categorized as an urgent issue that needs immediate decision. MPS arranges agenda of
CAFI meeting according to the information from CAFI members without technical notes.
However, there are a lot of agendas that never being registered in MPS, which the line ministry, bring
directly to the CAFI meeting. Especially, the CAFI extraordinary meeting does not have registered
agenda in the MPS, so in this regards, the technical notes or opinion to the issue is not available as
supporting information to make help decision-making in CAFI.
The process of CAFI facilitation done by MPS can be summarized as follow:
1. Organize the CAFI meeting including the agenda of CAFI meeting, the invitation to the
participants of meeting, place, logistic support, etc.
2. Prepare CAFI briefing notes related to the issue or problem that raised by line ministry,
including the technical recommendation that CAFI should consider in making decision.
3. Participate in the CAFI meeting and provide an update to the CAFI regarding the IF project
execution and write or record the decisions made during the CAFI meeting.
4. Using the notes prepare during the meeting; MPS will prepare draft CAFI minutes which will
summarized all important decisions and resolution made in the CAFI to be executed by the
relevant agencies involved in IF project management.
5. MPS will distribute draft of CAFI minutes to participants for clarification. In particular cases,
CAFI’s decisions can be altered if they have significant implications in planning and payment
execution of IF. MPS will finalize the draft based on comments and will prepare the final draft
for approval. Once it has been signed by CAFI members, all decisions can be executed.
The following Figure 31 presents the workflow of the Council of Administration of Infrastructure
Fund/CAFI.

D. DATABASE AND GIS DEVELOPMENT
Infrastructure database in the format of Geographic Information System (GIS) was a new portfolio
that Major Project Secretariat proposed to CAFI to be added in 2016 in responding to the growing
number of infrastructure projects financed through the IF, which are widespread geographically in the
territory of Timor-Leste. As indicated earlier, the total number of projects that are considered under
the Infrastructure Fund is 1,400. However, data related to each project such as location of the project,
total investment made, year of construction, and year of completion, to name a few, are not organized
in one place with a proper formatting system, which can create difficulty to manage (monitoring the
status, maintenance, etc.) in the future. This data or information, on the other hand, is also very
important to support proper planning and decision making process by referring to the past historical
data on the failure and success of a project.
The Major Project Secretariat (MPS), as the institution that responsible for providing technical and
administration support to CAFI, recognizes the importance of the Infrastructure Fund in supporting
strategic projects for further growth of Timor-Leste. This raises the need to create geo- spatial database
system that includes spatial inventory, distribution, and progress of projects under IF portfolio to see
where the projects are located, where they are concentrated, and how they are progressing. This
information, as a result, shall enable and promote easy access and visualization of entire IF projects
by CAFI and other relevant entities.
Therefore, the Major Project Secretariat is in the process of developing the database that will become
an integral part of:
Infrastructure database of IF portfolio;
Development of framework on the mechanism of data sharing; and
GIS database for monitoring of the ongoing IF funded projects;
Develop interlink-age of infrastructure data to other external data for broader application.
Figure 32. IF Portfolio and GIS Database Catalogue
GIS tool is selected because it is the best system designed to capture, store, analyze, manage, and
present all types of geographical data that enables the amassing of the geographic data inventory,
which is frequently used in the two main functions of GIS, which are:
a) Capability to do analysis (spatial); and
b) Generating visualization products, especially in the form of maps.
30
Figure 33. GIS Process Flow
These two functions make GIS a powerful tool as it can process large data in short-time and display
ample information in a single map. As such, GIS improves the quality of works during the planning
and preparation stage, and promotes practical monitoring and impact assessment scheme during the
implementation and monitoring stage. This results in a timely decision making and more efficient
communication to take proper course of actions.
The development of GIS database is at an initial stage, and to date, MPS has spatial inventory of 9
projects under IF portfolio of which location and progress maps have been produced. The maps
encompass Loan-Funded Road Projects, Irrigation Projects, Airport Projects, Port Projects, Tasi Mane
Projects, Urban and Rural Development Projects, Electricity Projects, and Millennium Development Goal
Projects. The process of creating spatial database for all the projects under IF portfolio is underway in
coordination with the relevant Line-Ministries, and when it is completed, it can take part in the support of
MPS to CAFI.

2. INFRASTRUCTURE FUND PORTFOLIO
The IF budget is aiming on financing IF programs with the source of funding from the State budget,
external borrowing, and public-private partnership through the PPP modality. During the period 2011 -
2017 a total number of IF programs has increased from 13 to 22. Number of programs is changing because
of availability of funds and budget limitations for implementation of major projects. In terms of
infrastructure development the IF Portfolio is based on long-term government priorities which are related
to the Strategic Development Plan 2011-2030.
Currently, a cumulative number of projects under the Infrastructure Fund are 1400. The status of IF
projects are as follows: 791 completed projects (since the establishment of IF in 2011), 461 ongoing
projects and 147 projects in IF Portfolio have not been started or not funded yet. The government
priority for IF investment is still focusing on basic and vital infrastructure, including power and water
supply, roads and bridges as presented in the Figure 35 below.
Figure 35. Infrastructure Fund Portfolio by IF Programs
The following section provides detailed description of each program, including purpose of the program
and area of investment, a total number of projects under the program, current status of projects which
are listed in the portfolio and key results of project implementation during 2011 - 2017, as well as
allocated budget and execution to cover IF projects under the IF.
More detailed information about each project and IF Program as well as photos is presented in the
Annual Progress Reports 2015 and 2016 of Infrastructure Fund which are attached to this document.

2.1. AGRICULTURE PROGRAM
Program objective and overview
The Agriculture Program has a high priority for Timor-Leste as infrastructure development is the central
element with the goal to support food production, improve distribution and food security directly
through enhancing accessibility and indirectly by increasing number of jobs and income. More than
63%1 of the households in the country depends on agriculture sector. According to the Strategic
Development Plan the goal of the food security is to create an additional irrigated fields which could
increase the productivity of rice, maize and roots/tubers and the area of irrigated rice by 40% from
50,000 hectares to 70,000 hectares by 2020.
Program Portfolio and project status
There are 18 projects under IF Agriculture
Program which are related to irrigation. Irrigation
schemes are considered by the Ministry of
Agriculture and Fisheries as a major component
for resuscitation in order to achieve targets of
self-sufficiency in staple food crops, principally
rice and maize. Since the establishment of the
Infrastructure Fund in 2011 totally 8 projects
have been completed including three big
irrigation projects Raibere, Oebaba and Caraulun
during 2013 - 2015 and two strategic projects in
Bebui and Cassameta in 2012. Currently, there
are 5 ongoing projects, and 3 projects which are going to start in 2017.
Program budget
During 2011-2017 the total executed budget
for Agriculture Program is of $31.3 million
which is 66% (see the Table). In 2016 the
budget execution for the Agriculture Program
is of US$ 2,107 million which is 73,3%. And
in 2017 the budget allocation to cover
agriculture projects is of $3.2 million.
Program benefits and results
The main result and key benefits for irrigation
projects under this IF Program are as follows:
Kitai river protection in Raimea, 150 ha completed in February 2017;
Redesign of Dardau and Galata irrigation schemes completed in 2016;
Construction and supervision of Cara-Ulun Phase I & Phase II (1030 ha) completed in 2016;
2 projects: Raibere Phase I completed in 2015 and Raibere II (total area 765 ha) in 2016;
Oebaba irrigation project Phase II with coverage of 2.263 ha completed in 2015;
Retaining Wall of Cassameta covered 1.700 ha of land, completed in 2013;
Bebui irrigation project with coverage of 870 ha completed in 2012.

As a result 6.814 hectares were covered by irrigation after project, 431 local people were hired during
the construction, and these projects gave good impact for rural area and 5.378 farmers got benefits.
In order to achieve SDP goal by 2020 the Fund invests in irrigation projects. But in addition to IF
Portfolio the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries has projects in this area such as grant project Buluto
irrigation in Manatuto, Laclo and Maliana 1 projects which also contribute to SDP goal.
Since independence, Timor-Leste has invested significantly in agricultural infrastructure, machinery and
the provision of subsidized seed and fertilizer. But there are still significant challenges to overcome
before our agriculture sector can reach its full potential. A thriving agricultural sector is needed to
reduce poverty, provide food security and promote economic growth in rural areas and our nation as a
whole. A growing agriculture sector will also promote rural development in Timor-Leste2.

2.3. URBAN AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Program objective and overview
This Program objective is to ensure that planning for economic activity based on maximizing regional
and local resources and should reduce the gap in progress between urban and rural areas. Spatial
plans and National Planning Framework contain of (i) the pathway for development in each region,
(ii) environmental sensitivities, including natural disaster risk factors and (iii) zoning regulations that
set out boundaries for each sector to ensure sustainability and environmental protection. Rural
development is a priority concern for Infrastructure Fund because of large proportion of population
living in the rural areas in Timor-Leste.
Program Portfolio and project status
Since 2011 under the Urban and Rural Development
Program of Infrastructure Fund have been
completed 2 big projects including the information
system LiDAR for mapping and planning and also
the spatial plans for Southern zone of Timor-Leste
(Suai, Same and Viqueque).
Meantime there are 2 ongoing projects: second phase
of LiDAR project and National spatial planning. 8
projects have not been funded yet: Spatial Plan for
High Land (covers Ainaro, Ermera, Aileu and
Bobonaro) and Spatial plan for Northern Zone (covers Manatuto, Baucau, Lospalos, Liquica and Dili).
Program budget
During 2011 – 2017 the total allocated budget
for this IF Program is of US$ 38 million and
execution US$ 19,6 million which is 52%. The
original budget allocation in 2016 for Urban
and Rural Development Program was $ 12.186
million. And then it was reduced to US$ 4.1
million. In 2016 the final budget execution is
of $ 3.14 million and execution rate is 76%.
The IF budget allocation for Urban and rural
development Program in 2017 is of $5 million.
Program benefits and result
The main result and key benefits under the Urban and Rural Development Program are as follows:
LiDAR Survey & Spatial mapping project completed in August 2015;
Spatial Plan for the Southern Region comprising the Covalima
and Viqueque and southern part of Manufahi project completed in 2011.
As a result it can provide spatial data for planning, housing and settlement regulation in Timor-Leste.

In achieving the goals of Strategic Development Plan (SDP), urban and rural developments based on
integrated and comprehensive spatial planning is essential. One of the national goal as stipulated in
SDP is that by the end of 2015 Timor-Leste has already developed a National Planning Framework to
guide the acceleration of sustainable economic growth and equitable development from national level
to suco level, while protecting Timor-Leste’s biodiversity and natural environment in conservation
zones.3 With the above goals IF already allocated the fund for national spatial plan, that further
breakdown into several projects: 1) National Spatial Plan (NSP), 2) Spatial Planning Legislation
(SPL), and 3) Housing and Settlement Legislation (HSL).

Project location and progress
The construction of a new port at Tibar is a national priority for the development of Timor-Leste.
The PPP modality chosen for Tibar Bay Port was a 30-year concession, including the design,
construction, operation and maintenance of the port infrastructure. The infrastructure must include: Berth with 630m length, capable of anchoring at the same time two vessels with a capacity
of 3.500-4.000 TEU / (TEU 20-ft equivalent units, thus a 40 ft long container = 2 TEU)
Entry channel with 200m width and minimum depth of 20m,
600m diameter ship maneuvering basin inside the bay with minimum depth of 20m,
Container parking terminal to be built in two phases with capacity 500.000 – 600.000 TEUs,

2.6. AIRPORT PROGRAM
Program objective and overview
Airports and international air travel to and from Timor-Leste are essential for the development of
business and tourism. However, the country has lack of airports suitable for international standards
which accepted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Domestic aviation services
are limited to chartered fixed wing aircraft and helicopter services and the airfields served are
inadequate to handle larger aircraft and more intensive services.
The Government has a vision to improve and develop existing airport including Dili, Suai, Baucau,
Maliana and Viqueque as clearly identified in the Strategic Development Plan 2011 – 2030.
Considering Southern coast infrastructure development the Government has commenced the
upgrading of Suai Airport and it`s construction was started in 2014.
Program Portfolio and project status
Since the establishment of the IF there are 11
projects in this Program5 and they are
comprised upgrading and extension of the
Nicolau Lobato International Airport in Dili
and regional airports at Maliana, Baucau
Suai, and Oecussi. Of these projects:
Rehabilitation of existing Dili, Suai and
Oecussi airports are at the implementation
stage of civil works. The importance of these
projects for Timor-Leste is very high because
the annual airport passenger traffic more than
200.000 passengers (2015 statistic data).
Program budget
During 2011 – 2017 a total budget for IF
Airport Program is of $63.6 million and
executed budget is of $32.4 million which
is 50.9%. In 2016 the budget for Airport
Program was $23 million and execution
$20.7 million which is 90%. In 2017 the IF
budget allocation for infrastructure projects
under the Airports Program is of $19.9
million, and execution $ 8.4 million, 42%.
Program benefits and result
Rehabilitation of runway of Dili Airport project completed in 2016 (492 jobs incl. 169 training),
Suai Airport completed in June 2017 (before 2016 the project was under Tasi Mane Program).
Suai Airport is ongoing projects and a total number of jobs created during construction of the airport:
674 people were employed in 2015, 174 people in 2016 and 120 during January – February 2017. The
total number of employed under this IF project is 968 people during the period 2015 - 2017.

Project location and progress
The Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport in Dili is the only international airport in Timor-
Leste and services regular connections to Darwin, Denpasar and Singapore. Demand for airport
capacity generally tracks economic growth. This means that airport traffic will expand significantly at
our national airport over the coming years6. The aim of the rehabilitation of the Dili Airport is to

The SDP states that “Timor-Leste is working towards achieving the United Nations’ Millennium
Development Goals” and as a result the country has made good progress in many areas. In order to
achieve the MDG targets the Millennium Development Goals Program has been included in the IF
portfolio since its establishment of the Infrastructure Fund.
A key component of the Millennium Development Goals Suco Program will be the building of
houses for vulnerable people. The housing will include solar energy, water and sanitation. Local
communities will be able to work together and help their most vulnerable neighbors by ensuring they
have adequate housing. This progress with MDG projects is very important for poverty reduction,
improvement of living standards and overall country development.
Program Portfolio and project status

2.9. EXTERNAL LOANS PROGRAM
Program objective and overview
Over the last few years, the Government has adopted a policy of recourse to concessional loans to
assist the financing of key infrastructure projects. In accordance with the Public Debt policy and law,
all loan-funded projects are confidently expected to generate high social and economic benefits after
implementation, well in excess of their financial cost. The financial cost of the loans should therefore
be lower than the returns being earned by the alternative source of funds, which is the Petroleum
Fund. Total 8 loan agreements have been signed by the Government of Timor-Leste in 2012 – 2016.
Program Portfolio and project status
There are 19 projects under the External Loan
Program. This Program established in 2012 to
implement Road Network Upgrading Project
(RNUP) from ADB and Road Upgrading Project
of Dili-Baucau from JICA. In 2013 there were
signed two new agreement, including Road
Network Upgrading Project (RNUSP) from
ADB and Road Climate Resilience Project of
Dili-Ainaro from World Bank. In 2015 in IF
Portfolio were added Tasitolu-Tibar Dual
Carriageway Road Project signed by ADB and GoTL. And in 2016 there were accepted additional
financing for Road Network Upgrading Sector Project (RNUSP).
Program budget
During 2012 – 2017 a total budget for
External Loan Program is of $396,6 million
and execution is of $46.3 million with
average execution rate 11.7%.
In 2016 executed budget for External Loan
Program is of $ 16.1 million which is 15.1%
In 2017 the allocation budget for these loan
funded projects is of $101.826 million.
Program benefits and result
Among the achieved results of loan projects 59 km of high quality roads Tibar-Liquica and Tibar-
Gleno which allow to reduce travel time up to 25-40%. Including 28.7 km road project from Tibar –
Liquica which allows to reduce travel time up to 25% from 50 minutes before and now 30 minutes.
R-3 Tibar – Liquica Road rehabilitation completed in 2016;
R-4 Tibar – Gleno Road rehabilitation completed in 2016.
During rehabilitation of Lot-3 road there were employed around 330 people, for Lot-4 road 258 – 487
people, for Lot-5 road around 536 people, under the RNUSP project 383 people. A total number of
beneficiaries which were employed during loan project implementation in 2015 – 2016 is 2,264.

Project location and progress
According to the Strategic Development Plan 2011 – 2030 in order to finance State expenditure, and
in particular infrastructure projects, grants and concessional loans will be considered by the
Government. This may provide favorable public financing options to support infrastructure programs
such as the rehabilitation of roads and bridges9.
With the help of external loan the Government has already improved Dili-Liquiça and Tibar-Gleno
main road sections connecting Dili and Tibar Bay Port. These also serve as the arterial road to the
Indonesian border and linkage to major coffee producing areas of Ermera and Liquiça. This
investment of the Infrastructure Fund have significant social and economic impact and they are
considered as strategic for long-term infrastructure development for Timor-Leste.

2.11. INFORMATICS PROGRAM
Program objective and overview
Improving information technology to support service delivery is one of the priority of the Strategic
Development Plan11
. The Informatics Program is very important as industry and commerce rely on
rapid and stable communications with adequate capacity and coverage to meet users’ demand. The
current communication technology such as speed of data transfer and connection in Timor-Leste is
still behind such countries as Indonesia, Australia, or other countries in the pacific region.
Program Portfolio and project status

Project location and progress
According to the priorities of Strategic Development Plan 2011 – 2030 for Youth and Sports sector
the IF Program will help to re-shape Timor-Leste and contribute to the transformation of our society
and economy. We must do all we can to support our youth and provide them with the opportunities
they need to gain the experiences, skills and values to participate fully in nation’s future.
Young people experience high rates of unemployment and many that do have work are engaged in
unskilled jobs or precarious employment situations. In today’s globally connected society, our youth
are aware of the opportunities the world presents to young people and many feel they are missing out
on these opportunities in Timor-Leste13

Project location and progress
Two levels of hospitals provide secondary health care in Timor-Leste. Referral hospitals are located
in 5 regions. These hospitals have Emergency and Inpatient departments, are staffed with general
practitioners and have specialists in four clinical areas. The National Hospital of Timor-Leste in Dili
is the top tier referral facility for specialized services and has links to international hospitals when
specialist tertiary health care services are needed. Both the national hospital and referral hospitals
provide training facilities for health workers who work at the primary care level.
While the Strategic Development Plan deals with the delivery of public health and medical services
that will directly help to deliver a healthy society, the successful implementation of other sections of
the plan will also be necessary to realize our vision for a healthy Timor-Leste15

Project location and progress
According to the Strategic Development Plan 2011 – 2030 in a global market seeking new and
authentic tourist offerings, Timor-Leste will position itself to provide a range of tourism experiences
that take advantage of our natural beauty, culture and heritage. This will allow Timor-Leste to
differentiate itself from mass market tourist offerings and appeal to the growing market segment
seeking boutique and unique experiences and locations. To cater to this tourist market, Timor-Leste
will need to improve core infrastructure including roads and bridges, electricity, telecommunications,
airports and seaports. As major infrastructure projects are undertaken, the tourism industry will be
developed to respond to the increased accessibility of the country17

2.19. ROAD PROGRAM
Program objective and overview
The aim of the Road Program is to support the movement of goods and services as well as to provide
connectivity in terms of transportation between districts to various centers of economic activities.
Well-constructed and maintained road system should be resilient to the climate and weather
conditions and it`s essential for economic growth, social cohesion and national security.
Program Portfolio and project status
The Roads Program is one of the strategic and
most important for infrastructure development.
A total number of the projects under Road IF
Program Portfolio is 336. Currently, 37 new,
181 completed and 118 on-going projects.
According to SDP in 2011 around 90% of
national and district roads were in poor or very
poor condition. Road projects have strong
economic and social impact because these
projects provide access to isolated areas, reduce
time and cost of transportation and also create additional jobs.

4. SUMMARY OF CHALLENGES AND DIFFICULTIES
Despite some good results that achieved through the investment, there are still many challenges and
difficulties that addressed to the project at each stage of project preparation and implementation.
Implementation of infrastructure project has faced with various challenges and difficulties that
required paying attention of government agencies and contractors that involved in the project
implementation in order to reduce all risks. In general, the challenges confronted by the most
implementing agencies and private companies during the project planning stage is lack of proper
planning including resolving issue of resettlement and conducting feasibility study, lack of
implementation framework.
Main challenges are related to weak supervision of civil works in the field, lack of monitoring
supervision, and capacity of contractor implemented the project, payment delay process due to
various issue such as tax application from the government part, and other factors that contributes to
inability to report on project impacts was due to the lack of baseline data collected and limited
logistic and financial support to carry out the task by MPS.
The challenges experienced by MPS during the project planning stage are as follows:
Lack of Sector Plans derived from SDP with clear priorities and goals for implementation;
Lack of administrative arrangement framework established in the planning stage for
project implementation including the roles of all institutions involved in the project
implementation. This issue has affect the project quality and delay in the project
implementation;
Absence Feasibility Study carried out for IF projects. In various projects, except loan
funded projects, almost 80% of IF projects implementation has not done proper Feasibility
Study but only DED (Detailed Engineering Design) and continued to construction phase;
Un-resolved land availability and lack of resettlement plan during the Feasibility Study
contributes to the project delays. Inadequate or absent of resettlement plan to be identified by
the Government at the planning stage contributes to increase overrun costs because contractor
cannot commence the work as site is not ready. In various infrastructure projects, particularly
loan funded projects, the Government sign the contract but the land issue is not fully checked
and resolved. And resettlement is also a big problem for starting a project without delay.
Several challenges identified during the project implementation phase are as follows:
Contract Agreement conditions for advance payment bank Guarantee and defect
liability period Guarantee are not in line with the General State Budget Law. Particularly
for the loan funded projects, CAFI has made several exceptional or approved of several
advance bank guarantees due to the clashes between State Budget Law requirements and
FIDIC contract conditions;
95
Due to unclear and different interpretation of the applicable tax rates to be deducted
from International Consultants and Contractors have contributed to the delay in the payment
processes and accumulated to the physical work implementation and time as well as quality of
product to be delivered;
Inadequate disbursement projection provided from line ministry and relevant
implementing agencies has caused many budget transfer and virement at the end of the year
which contributes to delays in payment processes in the last quarter of the year;
Lack of baseline data and monitoring framework established at the project planning
stage. This situation has contributed to inability of MPS to report on socio-economic impacts
of the projects, due to absence of baseline data established at the initial stage of project
design. Thus, MPS finding it difficult to highlight project benefits or results without projects
and with projects;
Limited fund allocated for the Project Management Unit / Project operational team.
Many projects that implemented by local contractors, in exception to loan funded road
projects, have been implemented with insufficient supervision from a competent supervision
company. However, there is no supervision consultant to supervise the contractor day by day
during project implementation and no motivation by line Ministry’s staff to take additional
responsibility for supervision work. These issues bear the risk of low quality of civil works
and delay in completion of the project according to the schedule;
Low quality of project results caused by lack of proper planning, project design and limited
or absence of qualified monitoring supervision to ensure that the materials and works
carried out are in accordance with the specifications stipulated in the contract and design
standards based on the best practice;
Lack of coordination among relevant agencies, program interconnection and sequencing
between sectors, programs and projects at all levels: for instance, how to sequence the
drainage Master Plan and preparation of the Dili Urban Plan.
Finally, some other challenges identified during the project completion phase (post-evaluation)
under the Infrastructure Fund and also related to MPS activity which are as follows:
Gap in legal framework delegates to MPS to carry out the post-evaluation for Infrastructure
Fund projects after project implemented from past period 2011 – 2017;
Absence of monitoring framework established in the planning stage, contributes to the
challenges for Major Project Secretariat to measure the project progress and impacts to
beneficiaries and to report on the project results. In addition, limited logistical and financial
constrains for MPS to carry out the task.

5. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the explanation and analysis of the IF achieved results from 2015-2017, The challenges
bear risks of unsatisfactory performance, low quality of works and delay in the completion schedule
was caused by:
Late approval of the budget for the year and delay in processing time in FreeBalance
system;
Inadequate pre-construction works or lack of planning and scheduling including right of
way and/or property acquisition processes and mobilization of equipment and construction
materials;
Lack of supervision consultant to supervise the contractor respectively, in order to ensure
the good quality of implemented project based on agreed design specification;
Inadequate budget to cover some payments from contractors due to high amount of
contract commitments signed by the Government under IF projects;
Lack of financial capacity of contractor and failure of the companies to complete the
project as per new timeline.
For future, it is strongly recommended:
MPS is in the process of exploring a possibility of drafting the administrative framework
for IF project implementation;
MPS has prepared the Feasibility Study guideline framework to improve the quality of
project planning and design;
Line Ministries is encouraged to conduct a feasibility study for all IF projects to improve
project results under IF funds. It takes time during the planning stage but, it will contribute to
smooth project implementation and quality of project results;
The Line Ministries to take very serious consideration on the resettlement issue and come up
with the clear resettlement plan early on prior to the commencement of a project, as IF
already allocated some fund to pay the resettlement program for particular project that will be
implemented;
It is important for the Government to review the General State Budget Law for advance
payment Guarantee requirements for loan funded projects and to include the defect liability
guarantee in the Law one of the requirements. It is necessary to reconcile the difference
between the General State Budget Law and lender agency requirements;
MPS is coordinating with Ministry of Finance, Director General for Revenue to provide tax
applicable rate to be applied to International consultants and contractors prior to proceed with
tax deduction;
97
MPS strongly recommend to all line Ministries to provide accurate calculations for the IF
budget projection in order to avoid many transfer of funds and virement processes at the end
year closing;
Government to take a serious review on the huge contract commitments signed with
contractors and consultants under IF, currently contract commitments signed estimated
around US$ 1.5 billion dollars;
It is important for line Ministries to establish clear indicators and baseline data collection
at the initial stage of submission the project briefs to MPS in order to monitor and measure
project results during the progress and after the completion of the project;
In order to calculate direct impacts of the projects, MPS has developed template and
distributed to all line Ministries regarding the employments records data and number of
employment generated by IF projects. Data gathering is on-going;
Ideally, the PMU Operational cost for any project is around 30% from the total budget of a
project. Thus, it is recommended that in order to improve the quality of project results, it is
crucial to allocate around 15-25% of the project cost for the project implementation or
PMU operational cost;
In order to provide evidence of the socio and economic impacts of the IF projects, it is
necessary to carry out the post-evaluation for all IF projects. MPS is available to take the
lead on the process, however, the approval letter from CAFI is required and financial and
logistical supports are needed by MPS to carry out the tasks.
Finally, infrastructure development is a long-term process which is based on vital problems of Timor-
Leste and key priorities which are in-line with Strategic Development Plan 2011 – 2030. And that is
why importance of the Infrastructure Fund ant its project and program Portfolio straight connected to
the future of Timor-Leste and better quality of life of all citizens in the country.
