This report is one of six gender andinvestment climate reform assessments undertaken in sixPacific nations including Timor-Leste. The report analysesgender-based investment climate barriers which constrainprivate sector development and identifies solutions toaddress them. Four key investment climate areas areconsidered: public private dialogue; starting and licensinga business; access to justice and alternative disputeresolution; and access to, and enforcement of, rights overregistered land. In each area the report considers legal,regulatory, and administrative barriers to private sectordevelopment with a gender perspective. It makesrecommendations aimed at ensuring that women benefit fromongoing efforts to improve Timor-Leste’s investment climateon the same basis as their male counterparts.
