| Summary: | This Policy Note distils the findings
and recommendations of a Study, jointly undertaken by the
World Bank and the Government of Timor-Leste, that evaluates
the mechanisms used by the Government to manage sub-national
spending in recent years: i) the Local Development Program
(Programa Dezenvolvimentu Lokal, PDL), underway since 2004;
and ii) the Referendum Package (Pakote Referendum, PR),
initiated in 2009, and progressively refined as the
Decentralized Development Program (Programa de
Dezenvolvimentu Desentralizadu, PDD) since 2010. The Study
assesses how these programs have performed in respect of a
number of key government policy priorities and draws
conclusions and lessons for the future. It adopts a dynamic
approach, so as to adequately acknowledge and account for
how shifts in the government s policy priorities over time,
in response to the changing context, were reflected in the
institutional arrangements that govern sub-national spending. |
