Timor-Leste’s economic growth is heavily dependent on the oil and gas sector, making the country vulnerable to slow and unsustainable development. The economy currently lacks diversity, and while the need for diversification is clear, the way forward remains uncertain.

The Timor-Leste Economic Diversification Pathway Report outlines a strategic path toward economic diversification, presenting key recommendations and strategies to support the country’s sustainable growth.

PROSIVU’sResearch and Analytical team has presented Timor-Leste’s economic diversification pathway to the Government, civil society organisations, and at the Australian Aid Conference in Canberra. The presentation slides can be accessed through the links above.

Agriculture is a critical sector for economic diversification and development. The growth of agriculture will benefit more than 70% of the population as the main livelihood source of many Timorese in rural areas.

How can Timor-Leste capitalise on economic opportunities in its agriculture sector? This topic was discussed in an open forum organised by Australia’s PROSIVU program, titled “Exploring Economic Opportunities in the Agriculture Sector.” The slides used in the presentation can be accessed through the links here:
