DILI, 19 June 2026 (TATOLI) — The Council of Ministers has approved the extension and amendment of the Supplementary Agreement to the Partnership for Inclusive Prosperity (PROSIVU) program with Australia, ensuring continued technical and institutional support for national reform priorities through 2030.
The draft government resolution, presented by Vice-Minister of Finance Regina de Jesus, extends the programme’s implementation period until June 30, 2030.
“With this decision, the program’s extension through June 30th, 2030, is approved, in order to ensure the continuity of Australia’s technical and institutional support for the Government of Timor-Leste’s priority reforms in the areas of governance, public financial management, economic diversification, public administration reform, and institutional coordination,” said in a statement.
The approved amendments also update Australia’s financial contribution for the program’s second phase to an amount of up to 66 million Australian dollars and strengthen provisions related to the prevention of fraud and corruption, child protection, the prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment, and environmental and social safeguards.
The Minister of Finance was also authorized to sign, on behalf of the Government of Timor-Leste, the documents necessary to formalize the amendments to the PROSIVU Supplementary Agreement.
