Road sector investment planning in the Pacific: an example of good practices: Timor-Leste

This study presents the methods used and lessons learned from the Timor-Leste road-sector planning project, completed in 2005, which was done in a post-conflict nation seeking to recover from severe poverty, political instability, and violent conflict. These lessons learned are woven into an overall approach to road sector Master Planning in Pacific developing member countries (DMCs), and how to process a loan or grant to support such a plan. This publication should provide practitioners and DMC government professionals with valuable tools and insights into developing and implementing short-, medium-, and long-term road network plans, maintenance plans, and institutional strengthening so that the road sector can become an engine for growth, sustainable development, and poverty reduction.
