Dili, July 15, 2025 (Média Democracia) – The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTK) has launched a training application for the new State asset‑management system. The event, organised by the Directorate‑General for Administration and Finance through the National Directorate of Administration and Logistics, took place in the MTK hall on Monday.
Executive Director Venansio Pinto explained that, under the IX Constitutional Government, the newly created Information and Communication Technology agency (ICT Timor.IP) is migrating State‑asset management from a manual process to an electronic, digitally based system.
“My remarks concern e‑government, which aims to move government operations online by transforming manual procedures into electronic ones through digital technology, thereby modernising public administration in our developing nation,” said Venansio Pinto.
He added that the e‑government drive reflects the IX Government’s commitment to administrative modernisation, supported by intranet and internet services hosted in ICT Timor.IP’s national data center.
“As set out in the IX Government’s five‑year programme, ICT Timor.IP and e‑government stand as a key pillar and knowledge base for national development over the next five years,” Pinto noted.
This initiative, he stressed, is more than a declaration; it is a strategic commitment to use digital technology to improve service delivery, boost governmental efficiency, and foster sustainable, inclusive economic growth in Timor‑Leste.
Acting Director‑General for Administration and Finance, Pascoal Couto de Jesus, pointed out that MTK, the Ministry of Finance, the Directorate‑General of State Assets, and ICT Timor.IP jointly launched the State‑asset registration system, which has hitherto been handled manually and will now be fully digitised via the internet.
“Today the Ministry of Transport and Communications, together with the Ministry of Finance, the Directorate‑General of State Assets and ICT Timor.IP, is launching a training programme for the State asset‑registration system,” he said.
He added that digitising the registration process will integrate data into a single platform, enabling conversion to the JRP (State Asset Registration System) used by the Ministry of Finance for accurate asset tracking.
The activity was coordinated by the Directorate‑General for Administration and Finance in collaboration with the National Directorate of Administration and Logistics.
