The World Bank in its statement said “ Timor-Leste achievement are remarkable. The executive branch of the state has been successfully in establishing core planning and resource management functions that are effective, transparent, and anchored on the NDP, and compare very favorably with other low income countries…..” (2006)
At the time of the restoration of its independence in 2002 the annual budget was USD 77.7 million, of which more that half originated from donors. For the Fiscal Year of 2006/2007 the government could now propose USD 315 million.
Timor-Leste has also completed a set of regulatory framework to ensure a proper and transparent management of its non-renewable resources. The Petroleum Fund, Petroleum Taxation Act, Petroleum Mining Code all have been passed and in use.
Positive economic growth 2005/06 of 2.3% after the mere 0.4% figure in 2004, but in the same time the population has grew at a rate of around 3.2%, this might help to explain the negative figure on overall GDP growth as reported by some sources.
In the area of Education the Government has recovered, built and is operating 649 public primary schools, 90 Pre-Secondary schools, 31 Secondary Schools. By June 2006 it was suppose to complete another new 50 schools and have 26 schools rehabilitated, but due to the recent crisis it is not clear if it has been completed. There are at least 6000 teachers being engaged. Even though working under difficulties the government has recently introduced the school feeding programme for primary schools and freed the students from school fees. This school feeding programme will benefit at least 75000 students. By the end of 2005 the combined gross enrolment ratio was 66% and the primary school attendance ratio was 86%.
It is estimated that 82% of Timorese has now access to health care services, it was around 62% in 2002. The country has now in average one doctor for every 3400 Timorese, one hospital bed for every 2400 citizens. The infant mortality rate has dropped from 88 in 2002 to 66 per every 1000 births and child mortality rate was also reduced from 125 to 83 per 1000 children. During the last four years the country has new 26 health centers and 10 health post adding up to the 22 health centers and 81 health posts rehabilitated during the same period.
About 157 irrigation system has been rehabilitated and built, which combined with accessibility to agricultural inputs and technical assistance increased by 19% the production of rice and 22% of maize during last year. The agriculture sector contributed around USD 105 million to the GDP, it was USD 81.5 million in 2002.
Timor has no foreign debt.

The world banks endorsement of Timor-Leste and its economic policies must mean the world bank is also Marxist.
O Hernani Coelho deve ser um dos coelhos da criacao do Alkatiri. Deve ter uma lupa capaz de descobrir planetas intergalacticas, para reproduzir rsta quantidade de bacoradas, so para enaltecer o patrao da fretilin. De camberra deves ver muito do que se passa em TL. Sera melhor para T se continuares calado. Pelo menos ficara a duvida se ao menos es esperto.
Mais vale ser um coelho criado pelo Alkatiri do que umas aboboras plantadas pelo Howard! (Xanas e Horta).

elogios e o que nao falta no Banco Mundial mas o povo Timorense continua a viver na miseria.

O Banco Mundial na sua declaração disse “As realizações de Timor-Leste são notáveis. O ramo executivo do Estado tem tido sucesso no estabelecimento de funções de planeamento central e gestão de recursos que são efectivas, transparentes e ancoradas no PDN, e que se comparam muito favoravelmente com (as) de outros países de baixos rendimentos” (2006)
Na altura da restauração da sua independência em 2002 o orçamento anual era de USD 77.7 milhões, dos quais mais de metade vinham dos dadores. Para o Ano Fiscal de 2006/2007 o governo poude agora propor USD 315 milhões.
Timor-Leste também completou um conjunto de molduras reguladoras para garantir uma gestão adequada e transparente dos seus recursos não renováveis. O Fundo do Petréleo, A Lei de Taxação do Petróleo, O Código de Exploração do Petróleo foram todos aprovados e estão em efeito.
O crescimento económico positivo de 2005/06 de 2.3% depois do mero número de 0.4% em 2004, mas no mesmo período a população cresceu numa taxa de cerca de 3.2%, isto pode ajudar a explicar o número negativo geral do crescimento do PIB como é relatado por algumas fontes.
Na área da Educação o Governo recuperou, construiu e opera 649 Escolas públicas Primárias, 90 Escolas Pré-Secundárias, 31 Escolas Secundárias. Em Junho de 2006 estava previsto completar umas outras novas 50 Escolas e ter 26 Escolas reabilitadas, mas por causa da crise recente não é claro se (tudo) foi completado. Há pelo menos 6000 professores contratados. Mesmo apesar de estar a trabalhar sob dificuldades o governo introduziu recentemente o programa de alimentação escolar nas Escolas Primárias e libertou os estudantes das propinas. Este programa de alimentação escolar beneficiará pelo menos 75,000 estudantes. Pelo fim de 2005 a proporção da combinação das matrículas brutas era de 66% e a proporção de atendimento escolar nas escolas primárias era de 86%.
Está estimado que 82% dos Timorenses têm agora acesso a serviços de cuidados médicos, em 2002 era cerca de 62%. O país tem agora em média um médico para cada 3400 Timorenses, uma cama hospitalar para cada 2400 cidadãos. A taxa da mortalidade neonatal caíu de 88 em 2002 para 66 por cada 1000 nascimentos e a taxa da mortalidade infantil foi também reduzida de 125 para 83 por 1000 crianças. Durante os último quatro anos o país tem 26 novos centros de saúde e 10 postos de saúde a acrescentar aos 22 centros de saúde e aos 81 postos de saúde reabilitados no mesmo período.
Cerca de 157 sistemas de irrigação foram reabilitados e construídos, o que combinado com a acessibilidade a depósitos agrícolas e a assistência técnica aumentou em 19% a produção do arroz e a 22% a do milho no último ano. O sector da agricultura contribuiu com cerca de USD 105 milhões para o PIB, era de USD 81.5 milhões em 2002.
Timor não tem dívida estrangeira.

Esqueceu-se de mencionar a evolução da taxa de desemprego.
A produção agrícola aumentou 19% e 22% respectivamente em relação ao ano anterior. Esquecem-se de mencionar que o ano passado foi um ano de seca extrema anormal.
Enfim, para quem partiu quase do zero, tirando a saúde e porque Cuba está a alugar médicos para colmatar o défice público, as evoluções são bem modestas.
É que onde existe 1, passar a haver 2 professores, o aumento é de 100% nessa escola mas na realidade só se acrescentou um professor.
A estatística dá para tudo.

"Enfim, para quem partiu quase do zero, tirando a saúde e porque Cuba está a alugar médicos para colmatar o défice público, as evoluções são bem modestas."
There is no ideological differences in Medicine, Doctors have a duty of care those who are sick whether it is in Cuba or in the United States. For your information Cuba has one of the best and most effective Health systems in the World, their Doctors are as good as any other industrialised country.
People like you make me feel sick because you put political interests and your hate for FRETILIN above the interest of Timorese people.
Rising From the Ashes
Charismatic former guerrilla leader Xanana Gusmão brings hope that his beloved East Timor will finally be freed from centuries of fear
By TERRY McCARTHY Dili March 20 2000
“Gusmão now works in uneasy alliance with the U.N., which has been criticized by many Timorese as hopelessly slow in delivering economic aid. Six months after the burning of Dili, the majority of the buildings are still without roofs for lack of construction materials. The problems in starting a country from scratch are mindboggling: everything is up for grabs. An initial proposal to use the Portuguese escudo as the currency has been scrapped in favor of the U.S. dollar. Gusmão is still holding out for Portuguese as the official language, although many in the younger generation think English would be more appropriate. An international country code--670--has been approved for East Timor's telephones, though this is still academic since most phone lines were ripped out by the Indonesians last September.
But the single biggest issue will be the political transition--at the moment the U.N. is legally the holder of East Timor's sovereignty, the first time in its history the world body has played such a role. So far no date has been set for elections for the presidency, although the chief of UNTAET (U.N. Transitional Authority in East Timor), Sergio de Mello, says he favors elections by the summer of next year. Gusmão has said repeatedly he does not want to be president. "Our struggle is not for us, but for the young people. Independence needs more capacity than I have."
Gusmão's aides and family believe he really does not want the power. “
My question is always, if one does not want to do something then why does one do it? Out of obligation? That is very dangerous, because there is some element of arrogance that goes with it. My view is you do only that which you are cut out to do by desire, motivation and temperament, otherwise you end up burning those around you.
"There is no ideological differences in Medicine, Doctors have a duty of care those who are sick whether it is in Cuba or in the United States. For your information Cuba has one of the best and most effective Health systems in the World, their Doctors are as good as any other industrialised country."
You better start learning to read Portuguese, one of our national languages.
Where did I write the cuban doctors are no good?
In fact I stated that ist was one of the few areas where the FRETILIN government went well.
But, it can't be called bilateral cooperation. It's a business. Timor-Leste is paying Cuba for each of the doctors, plus their salaries. Like almost every formar comunist countries, skilled people are on sale. In this case, because Cuba still retains a hard grip on everything, this is a state run business. Capice?
