The objective of the PPIP is to support the identification, preparation, and implementation of technically, financially, economically, environmentally and socially sound investment projects in three sectors, namely:
Water supply, sanitation and drainage, including extraction, production and distribution of clean water, collection and treatment of wastewater. As far as possible these projects will be developed to include a renewable energy component. In addition, storm water systems and related flood protection will be considered.
Solid waste management, including collection of recyclable materials, bio-waste and residual waste, sorting, refinement and recycling or recovery of plastics and other materials, composting or anaerobic digestion of bio-waste, sanitary landfill disposal of residual waste. In preparing these project particular attention will be given to the Clean Oceans Initiative of EIB, AFD and KfW. As for water and sanitation sector, renewable energy components will be included where feasible.
Forestry: sustainable forest management related investments such as: afforestation; reforestation; forest rehabilitation, protection, management and control, certification, biodiversity, conservation, and management of protected areas. Such investments are crucial both to enhance resilience to climate variability and change and to contribute to more broad-based and sustainable economic development of Timor-Leste.
The projects will be identified in accordance with current priorities and supporting and extending existing donor programmes as appropriate. The investment projects will be developed to a standard appropriate for financing by the EIB, and will be designed where possible and relevant to encourage private sector engagement.
Identified projects will be published here at a later stage of the PPIP.
