Item Maldives visitor survey : local experiences : December 2021(Ministry of Tourism މިނިސްޓްރީ އޮފް ޓުއަރިޒަމް, 2022) CDE Consulting; ސީޑީއީ ކޮންސަލްޓިންގThis report presents the survey findings from the Maldives Visitor Survey (MVS), an in-depth survey conducted in December 2021 by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of the Maldives. The 2021 in-depth survey captured the local experiences of visitors to the Maldives. The survey was carried out at the International Departure Terminal of Velana International Airport in Hulhulé. It was conducted between 15th December 2021 and 28th December 2021. The total survey findings comprise 578 responses from various nationalities. In-depth nationality analysis consists of seven markets with adequate data for analysis: India, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, and America. These countries were also among the top ten markets to the Maldives during the survey period. Chinese visitors had not resumed their international holiday travels to the Maldives due to border closures following the global COVID-19 pandemic and, therefore, were not part of the respondents during this survey.Item A brighter future for Maldives powered by renewables : road map for the energy sector 2020–2030(Asian Development Bank, 2020-11) Asian Development Bank; އޭޝިއަން ޑެވެލޮޕްމަންޓް ބޭންކްThe Republic of Maldives comprises 1,192 small islands in the central Indian Ocean, with a population estimated at 533,941 people in 2019. Maldives has been a development success in the recent decades, mostly attributed to the revenues from a flourishing tourism industry that comprises around 25% of the national gross domestic product (GDP). The magnitude of the economic impacts caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of the economic model implemented in Maldives over the recent decades. It will take months or even years to reach the tourism goals of the country. The country’s recovery will largely depend on the rapid transformation and diversification of its economic activities. Reliable and affordable energy supply are needed to address the transformation challenge. Maldives does not have reserves of fossil fuels, but it has abundant renewable energy resources, including solar, wind, and ocean. Investments in renewable energy are an opportunity to lower the costs of electricity production and reduce fuel imports and the burden on government finances. This Road Map establishes the guidelines to transit from a fossil-fuel- based energy sector to a cost-effective, business competitive, affordable, and sustainable renewable energy.Item Managing risks for a safer build environment in the Maldives(ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކް ގްރޫޕް, 2020-08) ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކް ގްރޫޕް; World Bank GroupItem Doing business 2020 : comparing business regulation in 190 economies : economy profile of Maldives(World Bank, 2019-10-24) World Bank Group; ވޯރލްޑް ބޭންކް ގްރޫޕްDoing business 2020 is the 17th in a series of annual studies investigating the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Doing business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 190 economies - from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe - and over time. Regulations affecting 12 areas of the life of a business are covered: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency, employing workers, and contracting with the government. The employing workers and contracting with the government indicator sets are not included in this year’s ranking on the ease of doing business. Data in doing business 2020 are current as of May 1, 2019. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of business regulation have worked, where, and why.

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 Strategic plan 2011-2015 : Maldivian Red Crescent(Maldivian Red Crescent, 2011-04-16) Maldivian Red Crescent; ދިވެހި ރެޑް ކްރެސެންޓްItem Impact of Euproctis fraterna Moore (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in the Maldives and suggestions for the development of control measures(Eco-Consult Pacific, 2004-05-12) Liebregts, Wilco J.
