Item Clean communities : facilitating community involvement in solid waste management(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2006) ރޮބީ ހެންޑޭސަން; ޒަމީލާ އަހުމަދު; ފާތިމަތު ޝަފީގާ; ޖޭޑީ ސްމިތް; Henderson, Robbie; Ahmed, Zameela; Shafeeqa, Fathimath; Smith, JadyThis document is a training program intended to guide staff from Government Ministries or Community based organizations (CBO's) to deliver the 'Clean Communities' training program to island communities in the Atolls. Waste management is one of the biggest environmental challenges in Maldives. The 'Clean Communities' approach recognizes and supports the Maldives Government' policy direction toward decentralization in the delivery of social services. Effective waste management requires communities to take ownership of waste issues, starting from the household level. Through participation in this program, communities will be supported in making changes to household waste management practices, and undergo a process of learning that will provide participants with skills, knowledge and empower them to participate in decision making effecting waste management on the island and Atoll level. 'Clean Communities' is based on the 'train the trainer' approach, where key community members are trained to pass on skills and knowledge to other members of the community.Item A rapid assessment of perceptions into environmental management in the Maldives : volume 1 : environmental education and community mobilisation(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2006-05) Smith, Jady; Nielsen, Christian; Shafeega, Fathimath; Ahmed, Zameela; Henderson, Robbie; ޖޭޑީ ސްމިތް; ކޮރިސްޓިއަން ނިއެލްސަން; ފާތިމަތު ޝަފީގާ; ޒަމީލާ އަޙްމަދު; ރޮބީ ހެންޑޭސަންThis report is designed to provide a basis for the development of environmental education tools and methodologies for environmental management that are both effective and appropriate to the expectations and context of the beneficiaries. The findings from this Rapid Assessment of Perceptions (RAP) are numerous and reflective of the many challenges facing a small island state. The knowledge of environmental issues within the community was high and participants had good awareness of the links between social, economic and environmental issues. However, awareness alone will not lead to change: there is an apparent lack of the social/economic skills needed to act, coupled with poor understanding of alternative options. The general focus of environmental education in the past has been within the biophysical paradigm, exploring environmental linkages and some ‘cause and effect’ theories. While this paradigm is important and relevant, attention needs to be paid to the social and economic processes that mediate environmental sustainability, especially in the area of water governance. The RAP identified five defined areas where environmental management could be strengthened: (i) strengthening capacity for safeguarding and monitoring of water resources, (ii) cultivating domestic expertise in participative facilitation techniques, (iii) focusing on and understanding local needs and exciting skills and knowledge and (iv) promoting of individual and community reflective activities. Part IV of the report brings forward the scope, principles and methodologies to advance sound environmental management through education and learning.Item Training manual: good water, sanitation & environmental hygiene practices for primary schools(Live & Learn Environmental Education, 2008) Shafeeqa, Fathimath; Shazna, Mariyam; Glen, Elaine; Henderson, Robbie; ފާތިމަތު ޝަފީގާ; މަރިޔަމް ޝަޒްނާ; އިލެއިން ގްލެން; ރޮބީ ހެންޑޭސަން
