Regional Development Project (Phase II) RAP

The research carried out in this RAP will be used to guide in the development of (i) a strategy for environmental education; (ii) a facilitators resource guide; and furthermore, to advance sound environmental management in the Maldives.

The tools chosen will be based on the tools developed for the ADB TA 4164, and the communities existing knowledge base and perceptions along with a review of existing approaches to environmental education. A range of findings emerged from the research that will assist with identification of appropriate tools and methodologies for promoting sound environmental management within the island community in general. This research also forms the base-line for evaluation of project outcomes.
