 Overview and Assessment of Development Assistance to East Timor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Indonesian government’s declaration that East Timor was an ‘open’ province in 1989 heralded the arrival of an ever-increasing number of aid organizations, and a subsequent increase in the number of sectors to which development assistance was targeted.
Historically, the conflict and unrest in East Timor has been a major underlying reason for this situation, as are the limited resources provided by the Indonesian government, and the restrictions placed on development assistance by aid organizations during East Timor’s ‘closed’ period.
A 1987 evaluation found that the protected population in East Timor had increased from 12% in 1982 to 42% in 1986 (in West Timor the gain was from 14% to 31%).
