The first phase developed a consolidated study on the natural hazard, environmental and physical risks and vulnerabilities of the nine inhabited islands. This study is the second phase of the project and covers the socio‐ economic risk and vulnerability assessments. It builds upon the findings in the previous phase of the project and analyse the specific aspects related to the social and economic environments. The broader project has been commissioned following the report, ‘Disaster Risk Profile of Maldives’, which recommended detailed risk and vulnerability analysis of selected inhabited islands.
This report has been compiled by a team of specialist local consultants with the support of UNDP, Department Planning and National Development and Island Offices of the nine inhabited islands.
