Context: The Peace Dividend Marketplace (PDM) project is an innovative approach to increase the economic impact, and the resulting peace dividend, of the international aid and humanitarian presence in Timor-Leste. Conceptualised in a 2004-2005 study on the economic impact of peacekeeping in collaboration with UN officials in 12 peacekeeping operations, this project intends to expand the local economic footprint of the UN and international agencies while simultaneously decreasing the operating costs of the missions. This can serve to channel additional millions into the host economy, create jobs, and build capacity. The PDM project will have three main components: an online procurement directory, matchmaking services and a training and outreach program. This concept has been piloted in Kabul, Afghanistan since 2005. The Timor-Leste approach will be adapted to local circumstances but remain similar in principle. Additional initiatives are in development.
