Maldives Environmental Management Project

Abstract*

The objective of the Environmental Management Project is to provide the Republic of Maldives with the capacity to effectively manage environmental risks and threats to fragile coral reefs as well as marine habitats resulting from tourism development, increased solid waste disposal, fisheries and global climate change. There are four components to the project. The first component is the regional solid waste management program. Solid waste is the most... Show More

Development Objective

The objectives of the Project are: (a) that a solid waste management system is established and that inhabitants on targeted islands use solid waste management facilities, reducing the risk of contamination associated with accumulated wastes and sea dumping; and (b) to build human and technical capacity for environmental management so that the environmental dimension is integrated in the plannng process using information and expertise developed in the Project.
