Republic of Maldives Ministry of Housing, Transport and Environment (MHTE) Maldives Energy Authority (MEA) State Electric Company Limited (STELCO) FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR APPLICATION OF PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER ON MALE’ AND HULHUMALE’ ISLANDS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MALDIVES FINAL REPORT NOVEMBER 2009 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY YACHIYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD SHIKOKU ELECTRIC POWER CO., INC. PREFACE In response to a request from the Republic of Maldives, the Government of Japan decided to conduct the Feasibility Study for Application of Photovoltaic Power on Male’ and Hulhumale’ Islands and entrusted to the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Tadayuki Ogawa of Yachiyo Engineering Co., LTD. (yec) and consists of yec and Shikoku Electric Power Co., INC. four times between February and November, 2009. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Maldives and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of this project and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Maldives for their close cooperation extended to the study. November 2009 Atsuo Kuroda Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency Mr. Atsuo Kuroda Vice President Japan International Cooperation Agency LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL November 2009 Dear Sir, It is my great pleasure to submit herewith the Final Report of “The Feasibility Study for Application of Photovoltaic Power on Male’ and Hulhumale’ Islands in the Republic of Maldives”. The Study Team conducted field surveys in Maldives over the period between February and November, 2009 according to the contract with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Study Team compiled this report, which consists of the Technical, Economic and Financial Feasibility Study to introduce Grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) System, Detail Design for Pilot Project, examination on Value-added Measures, and Long-term Action Plan, etc. through close consultations with officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Maldives and other authorities concerned. In addition to compiling this report, technical transfer and human resource development have been conducted through collaboration work with counterpart engineers in Maldives, and counterpart training at concerned organizations in Japan for the capacity development in planning and designing of Grid-connected PV system. On behalf of the Study Team, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to officials concerned of the Government of Maldives and other authorities concerned for their cooperation, assistance, and heartfelt hospitality extended to the Study Team. We are also deeply grateful to the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Embassy of Japan in Sri Lanka for their valuable suggestions and assistance during the course of the Study.

Maldives has been conducting censuses since 1911 with the first modern census conducted in 1977. Censuses were conducted every five years since between 1985 and 2000. The 2005 census was delayed to 2006 due to tsunami of 2004, leaving a gap of 8 years between the last two censuses. The 2014 marks the 29th census conducted in the Maldives. Census provides a benchmark data for all demographic, economic and social statistics in the country to the smallest geographic level. Such information is vital for planning and evidence based decision-making. Census also provides a rich source of data for monitoring national and international development goals and initiatives.

    What Is Shaping Vulnerability to Climate Change? the Case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives

    Island Studies Journal, 14(1), 2019, 81-100 What is shaping vulnerability to climate change? The case of Laamu Atoll, Maldives Karen E. McNamara The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Rachel Clissold The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Annah Piggott-McKellar The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Lisa Buggy The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Aishath Azfa United Nations Development Programme, Malé, Maldives [email protected] Abstract: As climate change accelerates, it brings with it numerous challenges to society and the natural world. Concepts such as vulnerability have emerged as a way of trying to understand people’s risk, despite there being a range of variables that can influence vulnerability and its temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing from the well-known conceptualisation of vulnerability as a function of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, this paper seeks to understand what variables are influencing and shaping vulnerability in Laamu Atoll, the Maldives, and produce a base of knowledge for future vulnerability reduction initiatives. Household questionnaires (n=412) were used on Laamu Atoll to ascertain locals’ perceptions of vulnerability based on livelihood resources, financial security, and climate-change experiences. Results show that peripherality, as a notion that describes the disparities between ‘core’ and ‘peripheral’ islands, is a key factor shaping vulnerability variables on Laamu Atoll. This has prompted an overarching recommendation for peripherality to be considered as a key dimension of vulnerability to climate change and an important consideration for existing and future human development and climate change policy and practice in Small Island Developing States.

The report would not have been possible without the extensive contributions made by the Government and people of the Maldives. Many of the Government counterparts have been working round the clock since the tsunami struck and yet they were able and willing to provide their time to the Assessment team while also carrying out their regular work. It is difficult to name each and every person who contributed.
