Following the 1999 United Nations-sponsored referendum which led to the independence of Timor-Leste, the existing infrastructures were shattered and destroyed by pro-Indonesia militias. The country was left literally with no national power grid, bridges, roads, reliable communications or water supply systems. Even though Timor-Leste has been consistently achieving two digit growth rates for the past decade, the country is still ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world.

Since 2011, PPIAF has assisted the Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) to attract private-sector investment in the country’s greenfield container-port terminal in Tibar Bay, outside the capital city, Dili. With this assistance, the government identified this as a priority public-private partnership (PPP) project in 2011, then spent the next five years developing it, while also building its own institutional capacity.
