Initial Environmental Examination LOAN AND PROJECT SUMMARY Borrower Republic of the Maldives Classification Intervention: Targeted Intervention Sector: Water Supply, Sanitation and Waste Management Subsector: Integrated Theme: Environmental Sustainability, Sustainable Economic Growth Subtheme: Environmental Improvement, Developing Rural Areas Environment Category B: An initial environmental examination (IEE) was Assessment undertaken. The summary IEE is in Appendix 7. Project Description The Project was developed within the context of the Government's 6th National Development Plan, and focuses on poverty reduction; community development; and improvements in water supply, sanitation services, solid waste management, and land management. The Project combines the three principal thrusts of policy improvements, capacity building, and investment facilities. The Project will be implemented on three focus islands (Naifaru- Lhaviyani, Mahibadhoo-Alif Dhaal, and Fonadhoo-Laamu atolls). Naifaru and Fonadhoo islands were reported to have been highly impacted by the 2004 tsunami. The Project will help the Government deliver basic infrastructure services to the outer islands more efficiently through institutional reform, and will consolidate systems to recover costs and provide waste and sanitation management services. The Project has a strong community-based approach to implementation and will provide tangible support to optimize participation of the private sector by establishing cooperatives for operation and maintenance. Rationale Poverty in the Maldives stems primarily from regional disparities in living conditions related to remoteness of the islands and lack of infrastructure and social services in the atolls. The island ecosystems are among the most vulnerable, and suffer rapid depletion and pollution of groundwater, pollution of the coastal environment due to inadequate sewage and solid waste disposal, and marine resource depletion. Environmental degradation can render an island uninhabitable, increase its vulnerability to natural disasters, and impact on key economic sectors, particularly tourism and fisheries. Problem analysis reveals that (i) basic infrastructure is largely inadequate on the outer islands to provide safe drinking water, and to prevent groundwater, marine and terrestrial pollution, and health hazards; (ii) regional planning is deficient due to the absence of implementing basic instruments such as land-use and economic planning, and environmental management for resource protection and health preservation; and (iii) management capacity at the regional, atoll, and island levels requires strengthening. iv Objective The Project’s goal is to increase the standard of living in the Central Regions. The Project’s objective is to improve environmental and land management through a community- centered approach. The Project has three closely interrelated components: (i) improving environmental infrastructure; (ii) strengthening planning and environmental management; and (iii) building management and implementation capacity in the Central Regions. Cost Estimates The total cost of the Project, including physical and price contingencies, is estimated at $7.5 million equivalent. Of the total cost, $5.38 million (71%) comprises the foreign exchange cost, and $2.12 million equivalent (29%) the local currency cost. Financing Plan The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide a loan of $6 million equivalent from its Asian Development Fund resources. ADB will finance 80% of the costs, including the entire foreign exchange cost and 29% of the local currency cost. The Government and the beneficiaries will finance the remaining $1.5 million equivalent of local costs. Loan Amount and Terms A loan of $6 million from the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) Special Funds resources will be provided. The loan will have a term of 32 years, including a grace period of 8 years; an interest charge of 1.0% per annum during the grace period and 1.5% per annum thereafter; and such other terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Borrower will be the Government of Maldives. Period of Utilization Until 31 March 2011 Estimated Project 30 September 2010 Completion Date Implementation The project implementation period is 5 years. A project Arrangements management unit (PMU) under the Ministry of Atolls Development (MOAD) will be set up in Malé, and three project implementation units (PIUs) will be set up on each of the three project focus islands. A national project steering committee will be established to guide policy decisions and operational issues. A regional project advisory committee will be established on each of the focus islands to advise on atoll development coordination. Close coordination with units working on tsunami recovery will be sought. Executing Agency Ministry of Finance and Treasury v Procurement Goods, related services, and civil works to be financed from the loan proceeds will be procured in accordance with Guidelines for Procurement by the ADB and its Borrowers and Government procurement procedures acceptable to ADB. Procurement will be carried out by the PIUs under the PMU’s guidance. The sanitation schemes will be

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.

Abstract This thesis presents an archaeological investigation of the remote Indian Ocean islands of the Maldives during the medieval Islamic period, through the excavation of three selected sites. The importance of the Maldives in medieval Indian Ocean trade networks, due to their geographical position at a crucial transit point and their exportation of cowry shell money (Monetaria moneta), is well known. However, these islands have received limited archaeological research, and that has focused largely on the pre-Islamic period. An archaeological study is important because the existing historical sources are on the whole relatively late and there has been a tendency to extrapolate them uncritically to earlier periods. Moreover, the Maldivian archaeological heritage faces various threats from development and environmental issues. Therefore, with the aim of documenting heritage at risk and filling some of the existing gaps in knowledge, the research is underpinned by four objectives: (1) investigating the landscape history and archaeology of the Islamic period in the Maldives; (2) creating a detailed typology of the pottery excavated; (3) examining the extent of intra-regional differences in the material culture; and, (4) shifting the focus away from the capital Male’ towards the poorly studied rural islands.
