Partner(s): UNDP, Government of Maldives (Ministries of Finance, Planning, Foreign Affairs), all international development partners.

The database provides financial information on relief, recovery and reconstruction activities in Maldives in line with the National Recovery and Reconstruction Plan (NRRP). It is possible to see what sectors, atolls and islands that receive funding, who is supporting these activities and from where the funds are sourced.

The database is publicly accessible to the Maldivian population at large as well as the local media and it is hoped that it can be used to ensure and promote accountability, both from the Government and its development partners.

The database is designed to serve the needs of the Government of Maldives and its international partners be it International Finance Institutions, United Nations funds and programmes, other international organizations, private sectors interests or national or international non-governmental organizations.
