Timor-Leste Roads for Development (R4D) – Phase II Investment Concept Note | Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Summary of publication

The Investment Concept Note outlines how Australia will support the Government-led program Roads for Development (R4D) for a second phase. It includes Australia’s rationale for supporting R4D implementation, adjustments to the 2012 design for Phase I and investment options for Phase II.

The Roads for Development – Support Program (R4D-SP) aims to support the Timor-Leste Government to plan, budget and contract road works through local private sector contractors. Where possible, labour-intensive approaches are used to maximise employment opportunities for people in rural areas. The program is implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
