Program Background

The Partnership to Strengthen Village Development and Municipal Administration (PARTISIPA) is a 10-year Australian Government investment (2021-2031) that supports the Government of Timor-Leste to improve access and quality of basic infrastructure and services at the subnational (municipal, administrative post and suco / village) level. PARTISIPA works together with Government of Timor-Leste partners through government systems, and in-line with government policies and priorities.

The overall program goals are:

• To strengthen government institutions to deliver quality services that are accessible to all;
• To support the resilience of communities through broad-based participation, economic opportunity, and improved village infrastructure

These overall goals are advanced through the following four program components:

• Support to PNDS (Programa Nasional Dezenvolvimentu Suku or National Program for Village Development)
• Municipal level support
• Rural water
• Subnational roads
