Well yesterday we announced the closure of the Peace Dividend Marketplace project in Timor-Leste. There are some interested donors, but time was against us, so closure was announced via @twitter here in English and here in Tetun. So we are…
Made in Timor-Leste: manufacturing in Timor-Leste?
by Edward ReesAugust 1, 2011
Well many people have often bemoaned the fact that Timor-Leste cannot not manufacture anything. Pessimism never got anyone anywhere – and the Timorese and their business partners are proving some of us all wrong. I was driving up the road in Becora today and I was reminded of some things I saw over the weekend on a tour of some of the western districts. What did I see in Becora? A power pole manufacturer….
Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
by Edward ReesWell what can I say? “Imitation is the highest form of flattery.” Some years ago we painted many of the Tiga Rodas of Dili with this below logo.

Timor-Leste Air Warz Redux
by Edward ReesJuly 22, 2011
Well here at PDT we are turning into something of plane spotters. We have blogged a bit on the nascent airline business in Timor-Leste December 2010, and February 2011. The long long awaited Timor Air has apparently arrived – and is about to start flying the Dili-Darwin-Dili route, starting just 72 hours from now. Booming air travel is often the sign of a growing economy – just as airlines are often the first to feel the pinch in hard times. In Timor-Leste though its all about more planes not less.
CCI-TL: Good Things Grow in Timor-Leste
by Edward ReesJune 29, 2011
When it comes to business in Timor-Leste I would ask that you remember just five letters. C,C, I, T and L – they are important. Up at the top of Timor-Leste – in Ainaro, good things grow. But down in Dili there are also good things growing too. In April 2010 the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Timor-Leste (CCI-TL) was inaugurated. When they come together its a recipe for success.

Timorese on Twitter
by Edward ReesJune 27, 2011
Well facebook is officially a bit of a craze in Timor-Leste. Underneath the surface of things there is really a wave of social change in Timor-Leste. Not really surprising given the increasing access to technology, a wave of petro dollars pushing the bar, and most of the population being under 20 years old. Late last night I had a look at the #timor hastag on Twitter and found a growing crowd of #Timor tweeps. Six months ago I blogged on Twitter in #Timor and last night I realised its a growing thing as well.
