Extention of HydroTimor Office in Dili
Extension of the office for HydroTimor and the National Directorate for Water Resources Management is progressing.
For more than two years now the part of Ministry of Infrastructure dealing with hydrology and hydropower, called by our self for HydroTimor, has had the office in a small building at the Electricidade de Timor-Leste (EDTL) premises in Caicoli, Dili.
Since we have been merged with the National Directorate for Water Resources Management, the office space has become too small.
Norway granted during the Annual Meeting 2009 an amount sufficient to enlarge the office building to cater for at least 20 persons in good working facilities, and to purchase
office furniture and other equipment.
After a tendering process, the local company Baboe from Dili was the winner, and started construction work at the middle of April 2009. The plan is to complete the building before the 22 June 2009. The consultant for the construction is Lemorai Lafoti Consultant from Dili.
The work is progressing according to schedule, and will when completed make the old, small office to a large, nice office building. Emphasis has been made to make it a strong building, which is large, but without looking like a very large building.
By sitting together, the complete National Directorate for Water Resources Management will become an efficient unit, working close together, ready to serve others in Timor-Leste who will need data from us, and to assist to develop Timor-Leste in the right way!
