Lowering the MACR would be a step backward for Maldivian society, abandoning principles of the best interest of the child and risking the well-being and future potential of the nation’s children.
The core of our work is conducting rigorous research and analysis on a wide range of policy issues, economic trends, and social developments. Our expertise and focus areas include:
Promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency in government institutions. We analyse governance structures and best practices from around the world to recommend reforms that enhance democracy, citizen participation, combat corruption, prevent torture, ensure compliance with the human rights treaties/mechanism and improve public service delivery.
Examining the Maldives’ international relations, diplomatic strategies, and regional alliances. We provide insights focused on crucial foreign policy and national security challenges facing the Maldives, offering strategic recommendations.
Studying the effectiveness of local governance structures and decentralisation efforts. We propose strategies to empower local councils, and women’s development committees and improve service delivery at the atoll and island level.
Assessing the Maldives’ progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. We identify challenges, opportunities, and policy interventions to accelerate the achievement of these global objectives.
Monitoring and forecasting economic and financial developments in the Maldives. We provide analysis on key sectors, economic indicators, and policy recommendations to foster sustainable growth.
Investigating social challenges facing the Maldives, based on recent data and experiences. We propose policies addressing demographic shifts, including ageing population, youth unemployment, higher education demands, housing needs, and other emerging social concerns. We recommend policies to address gender disparities and promote inclusive development across all sectors.
We love hearing from you.
