Job Summary

​Interim Government for Development Support Services for Timor-Leste (IGDSS)

Regulatory/Business Process Adviser to the Autoridade Nacional de Communicações (ANC)

Program Background:
Cardno Emerging Markets is implementing the Governance for Development (GfD) Interim Support Services program on behalf of the Australian Government. The Australian Government is currently undertaking design of new program of support for Timor-Leste, the Governance for Development (GfD) program. GfD focuses upon:
  • Good public sector management to enable growth and delivery of services that meet Timor-Leste’s development needs.
In order to continue strong engagement from Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) stakeholders throughout the design process and to maintain momentum in relation to successful activities that are currently being implemented under these programs, an interim program phase (called GfD Interim Support Services) commenced in August 2012. This interim phase is expected to operate until the commencement of the new GfD program in late 2013.

The interim program activities need to meet several objectives. These include:
  • ongoing implementation of the activities that have been partially delivered to date under the programs outlined above;
  • implementation of additional activities as identified during the interim phase;
  • maintenance and further development of Australian Government relationships with the GoTL and other Timorese stakeholders; and
  • contribution towards the content and approach of the new GfD design. This includes a particular emphasis on strong ownership of the new governance program by the GoTL.
