Evidence snapshot for Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste has implemented several evidence-backed interventions across governance, health, and rural development. A mandatory 1-in-3 electoral zipper quota raised women's parliamentary representation from under 20% to 40% by June 2023, double the Asia-Pacific average. Liga Inan's mobile maternal health messaging nearly doubled skilled birth attendance and facility-based delivery (OR 1.9) and increased postpartum care within two days roughly five-fold (OR 4.7), reaching 60,000 mothers by 2020. Roughly 450 rural village headquarters now have satellite internet connectivity via Starlink, with speeds up to 222 Mbps in some areas, supporting local administration and e-government services.
