The Project Preparation & Implementation Programme for Timor-Leste (PPIP) recently took part in the Europe Day fair on the 27th and 28th May 2022 at the Timor Plaza. This 2-day fair event was organised by the European Union in Timor-Leste with the objective of show-casing the European Union and Timor-Leste cooperation and partnership for over twenty years. The President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, H.E. José Ramos Horta, jointly with the Ambassador of the European Union to Timor-Leste, H.E. Andrews Jacobs opened the two days fair.
The event was a great opportunity to disseminate information about the PPIP to the general public and other interested organisations. Over 6000 people were reported to have attended the 2 day event, with many others joining via online streaming/facebook from the European Union Delegation in Timor Leste.
The President of the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste, H.E. Jose Ramos Horta and the Ambassador of the European Union to Timor Leste, H.E. Andrew Jacobs also visited the PPIP stand.
Promoting its green credentials, the PPIP provided visitors a paperless experience, namely a short presentation of the project provided on a large screen television. Furthermore, visitors could access the PPIP website by using smartphones and the QR code provided.
On the 28th June 2022, the PPIP Deputy Team Leader, Mr Kong Kiong Mu provided a 10 minute presentation of PPIP, and was supported in translation by PPIP Consultant, Mr Olivio Dos Santos.
