This program in the IF portfolio initially comprised the Construction of the 12th of November Monument and Construction of the Garden of Heroes. Both projects have been completed and
as from 2013 Construction of the Nicolau Lobato Monument at the Dili Airport Roundabout was added. This project was physically completed in 2013 while the statue was assembled in
2014, and remaining payments are expected to be release by end of the year. Thus, there is no budget allocated in 2015.
4.2.14. Tasi Mane Program
The petroleum sector is Timor- Leste’s greatest source of State Budget revenue. This revenue is
used to finance health care, education, security and defense and to build and maintain infrastructure for the nation. Expansion of the oil and gas sector has been constrained by the
lack of infrastructure in the South Coast area. The Tasi Mane program of major projects has been established to address these deficiencies.
The total budget allocated for Tasi Mane Program in 2014 is 46.3 million. Of that amount, 20.0 million has been allocated for Rehabilitation of Suai Airport; 18.0 million for Suai
Supply Base; 5.0 million for Pre-Feed LNG Beasu and 3.3 million has been earmarked for Geotechnical and Marine Survey in Betano as well as Design of a Master plan for Suai
Urban Area and Study and Design of Water Supply in Dato Rua and DatoTolu. Of this, 11.3 million estimated to be disbursed by December 2014 while the remaining budget
was shifted to other programs in need of funds. The program will continue into 2015 with a budget of 37.6 million.
As for the Concept Design, Construction and Supervision for the Suai Supply Base: The initial budget allocation was 18.0 million, but due to lack of progress the allocated budget was
diverted to other programs. Therefore, the budget has now been reduced to 6.7 million. Procurement for this project is progressing well and a contract is expected to be awarded by
early 2015, this will require funding to the amount of 20.4 million. An
‘Environmental Impact Study of Development in the South Coast Areas
’ was completed and no funding is required in 2015.
Studies and analysis for the ‘Development of Gas Pipeline Routes’ in the south coast region
were completed in 2013. Meanwhile, tender processes are ongoing for the ‘Concept Design’ and
‘Studies for Development of Infrastructure in the Beasu Area’ and a contract will be awarded such that the studies can immediately commence and be complete in 2014. Therefore, no funds
are required in 2015. The design for the ‘Construction and Supervision of a Highway between
Suai, Betano and Beaco ’ was completed in 2012. Funding of 15.0 million has been allocated to
the project in 2015. Concept Design, Detailed Design and Construction for Upgrading Suai Airport:

ceremony held. The initial budget allocated to this project in 2014 was 20.0 million and the contract value totals 68.5 million of which 13.5 million has been disbursed. A further amount
of 5.0 million is expected to be disbursed by the end of the year. A further 18.0 million is required to sustain works progress during 2015. The remaining projects were under procurement
stage and works may commence in 2015 and will require 2.0 million while 0.2 million has been allocated for the design of Water Supply in Dato Rua and DatoTolu in 2015.
In summary, the Tasi Mane projects in 2015 require 37.6 million.
