Evidence snapshot for Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste has achieved substantial progress in women's political representation and maternal health outcomes through targeted policy and mobile interventions. A mandatory 1-in-3 zipper quota on electoral lists raised women's parliamentary share from under 20% to 40% by June 2023—double the Asia-Pacific average—while Liga Inan's mobile maternal health service nearly doubled skilled birth attendance and increased postnatal care checks over five-fold, leading to national adoption with 60,000 mothers enrolled by 2020. The country is expanding rural connectivity and disaster preparedness: approximately 450 rural suco headquarters now have satellite internet access reaching speeds up to 222 Mbps, and an AI-assisted drought forecasting system matches observed drought conditions over 80% of the time, protecting a population where 79% of households depend on crop production. These practices demonstrate progress in governance, health service delivery, digital access, and agricultural resilience, though the evidence does not quantify coverage or outcomes across the full economy or population.
