Government of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste
The Government of Timor-Leste is a key partner, acting as a strong supporter of PDT and a frequent user of the Peace Dividend Marketplace matchmaking and tender distribution services. In 2009, President Ramos-Horta provided a strong endorsement of PDT and its approach by saying that, in his view, “…PDT was directly responsible for changing the way international agencies looked at procurement, and for increasing the amount of money being spent ‘in’ the country as opposed to just ‘on’ Timor-Leste.” (Further information can be obtained at www.timor-leste.gov.tl)
