Timor-Leste Impact Assessment Reports





			PDT has launched an in-depth analysis of the impact of its micro matchmaking and tender distribution services, with a specific focus on job creation and how income derived from facilitated transactions is reinvested in the local economy. The results for micro matchmaking activities in two districts, Baucau and Lautem, are featured in individual reports and are complemented by a cross-district report covering micro matchmaking in nine districts of Timor-Leste. The results for the tender distribution service are presented in a short report that features the experiences of several Timorese businesses.
