The Financing Agreement was signed on December 29, 2020, and the project was declared effective on October 21, 2021. Since effectiveness, the Project Management Unit (PMU) along with the WB team have worked on the preparation of all the documentation required for implementation. All safeguard documents, including land and property, technical designs and other studies, have been finalized. The WB Task Team continues to work closely with other development partners, including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), in providing support to Bee Timor Leste and associated ministries and agencies through developing technical assistance and capacity-building programs to ensure the synchronization of programs and investments. The new Country administration that assumed office in July 2023 initiated a broad-based internal review of donor-funded infrastructure projects to ascertain their respective alignment with the new administration’s priorities. During the review process, project activities were effectively put on hold pending the government’s decision on which projects to pursue and which to postpone or cancel. On June 28, 2024, the government of Timor Leste submitted a communication indicating its intention to cancel the Timor Leste Water Supply Project. The formal cancellation request letter is expected to finalize project closure. 5.
