Location
Lack of infrastructure, an after effect of the decades of independence struggle against Indonesia, meant the majority of the quality materials had to be sourced from the South Pacific region and shipped to Timor-Leste.
Filipino and East Timorese tradesmen were employed and at the peak of the project 50 local staff were employed on site.
