Announcing District Business Guides: Manufahi District

Please find English and Tetum translations below …

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcing District Business Guides: Manufahi District

www.buildingmarkets.org

Dili, Timor-Leste, 01 October 2008 –

This Peace Dividend Trust (PDT) Timor-Leste District Business Guide is the first in a new series of PDT District Business Guides. The Guide is based on verification activities undertaken by PDT in Manufahi during August 2008 and features the details of thirty-nine Manufahi businesses.

Go to www.buylocaltimorleste.blogspot.com to access the guides.

In coming months, PDT will produce District Business Guides for all of Timor-Leste’s thirteen districts. The data included in this guide was accurate at the time of survey. Resources permitting, the data will be updated at regular intervals. In case of errors or inaccuracies, please write to timordatabase@peacedividendtrust.org or contact PDT on +670 332 2823.

What is PDT and what does PDT do?
PDT works to connect buyers with suppliers both national and international in order to stimulate the economy and create jobs. To this end PDT opened a Tender Distribution Centre in December 2007, commenced matchmaking activities in January 2008 and launched a Timor-Leste Online Procurement Website in May 2008. PDT also offers tailored training assistance.

What has PDT achieved to date?
Since commencing activities in Timor-Leste in late 2007, PDT has achieved the following outcomes:
• Verified approximately 1,700 businesses in all thirteen districts of Timor-Leste, with reverification presently underway to ensure that the database remains current.
• Entered the details of over 1,500 businesses into the PDT Online Procurement Database located at www.buildingmarkets.org In the first four months of operation this database attracted 4000 visitors who made a total of 25,000 page views.
• Completed 266 matchmaking requests equating to an estimated USD 2 million.
• Completed 972 micro-matchmaking requests equating to an estimated USD 1 million.
• Operated a Tender Distribution Centre which has distributed 171 tenders, thereby facilitating an estimated USD 5.3 million in local procurement.
• Opened an online tender-posting service featuring Timor-Leste Government tenders and Intent to Award notices. Within the first sixty days, 148 tenders and award notices (equivalent to USD 15 million of Government spending) were posted on this electronic archive.
• Initiated the development of a Buy Local Baucau Business Guide (featuring city map)

In coming weeks, PDT Timor-Leste will consolidate its achievements with the release of a national profile of the Timor-Leste business community based upon the business verification activities undertaken since November 2007.

About this Business Guide
Where possible, the businesses in this Guide have been ordered according to main area of business activity. However, users of this guide are urged to review the section on General Supplier and Service Providers in addition to more specific sections of the Guide when searching for goods and services in the district of Manufahi. Those users equipped with a computer will be benefit from the use of the PDF-file ‘search’ function.

All-Time High Coffee Export From CCT



Cooperativa Cafe Timor (CCT) is exporting $12 million-worth of coffee this year­its highest production level so far­after buying 18,000 metric tons of coffee cherry from farmer members.

USAID is supporting CCT through the Timor Economic Rehabilitation Program implemented by the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA). In early 2008, USAID launched a public-private partnership with a major U.S. trade and investment company, Cooperative Business International, to further help the 22,000 coffee farmers’ who are members of this cooperative to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of the international coffee market.

Kor Timor Supports Buy Local. Build Timor-Leste.




Please find English and Tetum translations below …

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcing Partnership: Kor Timor and Peace Dividend Trust

Dili, Timor-Leste, 22 September 2008 – Kor Timor and the Peace Dividend Trust (PDT) today announced a partnership in promoting job creation and Timor-Leste’s domestic private sector. Kor Timor is a leading manufacturer of locally hand-made products (including but not limited to boxes, books, packaging, bags) made from recycled, hand-made paper and Timor tais. In support of the “ Buy Local. Build Timor-Leste.” campaign Kor Timor will display the logo and slogan (above) on its products in the future.

Located in Taibessi, Dili, next to the Juvenile Centre, Kor Timor employs 17 people and serves institutional customers such as the Office of the President, Government and the diplomatic community, as well as exporting a small quantity of products to Australia. It also supplies local outlets and has its own shop at its workplace. “When this employment project started in 2007, we hoped it would be successful and provide jobs into the future for Timorese people in the community. We are amazed at the success of our products and the response from our clients,” said Sheila Boston, Manager, Kor Timor.

The “Buy Local. Build Timor-Leste” campaign is designed to promote the domestic private sector and drive job creation. Launched by the Peace Dividend Trust and the Ministry of Tourism, Commerce and Industry in May 2008, the campaign is part of the Peace Dividend Trust Marketplace project. Approximately 1600 verified business profiles can be found on the Timor-Leste online procurement database online at http://www.buildingmarkets.org/. PDT also provides buyer-supplier matchmaking services in Dili and six district,s in addition to a comprehensive Tender Distribution Centre. All services are free of charge.

“I invite any and all interested parties who are eager to promote business in Timor-Leste to partner with us in promoting the Timor-Leste Online Procurement Database by mounting the logo and slogan on their products or capital assets,” said Edward Rees, Country Director of PDT. “The Ministry of Infrastructure was very supportive when it allowed us to mount the logo and slogan on the Nakroma Ferry.” “I am especially pleased that Kor Timor has joined with us as it is a small business with a big profile offering a niche product here and abroad,” said Celio Alves PDT Matchmaking Associate.

About Kor Timor

Kor Timor is a not-for-profit business, funded by an Australian donor and managed by an Australian volunteer. At a suitable time in the future, 3-5 years, after training and capacity development, Kor Timor will be given to the Timorese staff who work here to administer.

UNMIT has $55 million dollars to spend

In August 2008 the United Nations Procurement Division in the Department of Mananagement in New York announced UNMIT's 2008-9 procurement requirements.

In the Acquisition Plan - United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Lestes (UNMIT), seemingly accessible only in English and only via the internet, at one can discover what types of goods and services UNMIT forecasts it will require in the 2008 - 2009 period. It estimates approximately $55 million dollars of procurement. That could, if procured locally, have a significant and positive impact on the local economy and build private sector capacity.
