Access to Justice Program
The Access to Justice Program is under the new IF Portfolio program from 2022. According to SDP 2011‐2030, justice sector plays a crucial role in the consolidation of peace and stability, guaranteeing the rule of law and promoting accountability and transparency in our institutions.
Agriculture Program
The Agriculture Program has a high priority for Timor‐Leste, as the infrastructure development is the central element with the goal to support food production, improve distribution and food security directly through enhancing accessibility and indirectly by increasing the number of jobs and income.
Airports Program
The airports and international air travel for Timor‐Leste are essential for development of business and tourism. However, the country has a lack of airports suitable for international standards accepted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Domestic aviation services are limited to chartered fixed‐wing aircraft
Public Financial Management Program
Strong public financial management is very important, as it is a central element of well‐functioning of public administration, including recording all the government activities in relation to budget execution in promoting the transparency and accountability of public expenditure. The Infrastructure Fund provides support to both soft infrastructure of public financing management such as system development and enhancement, and hard capital
infrastructure for office buildings, large hardware installation, such as centralized data center, and other facilities under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Finance. From 2022, the name of the IF Program has been changed to the Public Financial Management.
