Historique

Timor-Leste has made positive strides to address the issues of corruption and accountability. The adoption by the National Parliament in 2009 of the law for the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is a positive indication of the Country’s commitment to strengthen accountability and combating corruption in Timor-Leste. This law provides the ACC with powers such as instigating and pursuing criminal investigations in corruption offences. Furthermore, the ACC is also mandated with raising awareness on issues related to anti-corruption.

The objective of this project (2011-2013) is two-fold: (1) to strengthen capacities for civic engagement and partnerships among the ACC and relevant civil society organizations; (2) to strengthen analytical capacity of the ACC for informed decision making and outreach on anti-corruption.

To achieve the latter objective, it is proposed that training on Public Expenditure Tracking System (PETS) will be conducted for the ACC’s staff by an international consultant. PETS is a diagnostic tool that allows tracking of public funds that allows different stakeholders to see more clearly the flow, leakages and misuse of public funds at all levels. The training will provide knowledge, skills and techniques for tracking budget flow and consequently promoting transparency and accountability of government.
