Program Background

DT Global supports the implementation of PROSIVU on behalf of the Australian Government.

PROSIVU is the next phase of Australia’s governance support to Timor-Leste. The program will extend Australia’s longstanding partnership with Timor-Leste in support of good governance and economic policy development. It is Australia’s primary program for providing support to Timor-Leste’s central government agencies and economic line-ministries.

The goal of Australia’s Timor-Leste development program is to support the Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) to achieve the social and development outcomes from its Strategic Development Plan. PROSIVU will contribute to this goal through three end of facility outcomes:

(a)   stronger, more inclusive economic growth.

(b)   sustainable public finances; and

(c)   better public administration.

These three outcomes constitute the basis of PROSIVU’s three workstreams.

The aim of support for stronger, more inclusive economic growth is that central agencies and line ministries invest in evidenced based and inclusive economic development policies and projects that have high economic and social returns, improve outcomes for the poor and improve equality and social inclusion.

The aim of support for sustainable public finances is central agencies, led by the Ministry of Finance and Prime Minister’s Office, improve the performance and inclusivity of public expenditure, and diversify and increase domestic revenue collection.

The aim of support for better public administration is central agencies, led by the Civil Service Commission and the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, develop and invest in policies, systems and capacity to ensure public administration is inclusive, effective, performance-driven, and responsive to the needs of citizens, the private sector and civil society.
