9 The ATP is also a tool that is not only utilized by DPMU, but allows all government ministries and
development partners to better understand the level of Official Development Assistance to Timor-Leste. Equipped with the ATP, DPMU is able to further contribute to preparing quality State Budgets. The
integration of the ATP with the Governments budgeting systems will allow for ease of access to current information on all DP assistance, by Government beneficiary institution, region, sector, SDP pillar, DP,
providing information on obligations and disbursements.
Part 4: Trend of Development Assistance to Timor-Leste
4.1 General trend
The amount of ODA to Timor-Leste has remained at the level of approximately US250 million per annum from 2010 to 2012. The ODA as a percentage of the CSB has become smaller, decreasing from 23.5 in
2010 to 11.0 in 2013 on a planned basis. In 2014, a planned total of US235.9 million will be provided to Timor-Leste. This includes US184.9 million in off-budget grant and US51.0 million in loans.
A significant downward trend in off budget grant is shown between 2014 and 2017; however, this is due to the non-availability of accurate information on planned expenditure in the medium term by a number of DPs,
and so does not reflect a lack of international support or commitment. New commitments against future years are expected as time passes.

In 2014, 10 multilateral and 15 bilateral DPs committed to provide ODA to Timor-Leste. DPs, which plan to disburse more than US10 million in 2014, including both grant and loan aid, are Australia US58.7

total ODA to Timor-Leste.
