Currently the Maldives has issues when it comes to data collection- especially with a focus on disaster risk reduction. Efficient data collection is a prerequisite for proper planning conducive to resilient communities. Thus, the project aims to provide a selected city (Addu City) in southern Maldives with enhanced capacity to undertake risk-informed planning, and subsequently make evidence-based climate action plans. In addition, provision of adequate details for the creation of an appropriate disaster information system is addressed by integrating existing mapping efforts with the community. The collected data is to be made available to both national decision-makers and local communities.
