UNDP is the UN’s global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP is on the ground in about 170 countries and territories, working with national counterparts on solutions to global and national development challenges. In the programme countries, UNDP supports stabilization, state-building, governance and development priorities in in partnership with the host governments, the United Nations system, the development partners and other partners to help the country to achieve sustainable development by eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, accelerating structural transformations for sustainable development and building resilience to crises and shock.
UNDP has been a trusted development partner of the Maldives for more than 40 years, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, reduction of inequalities and exclusion in areas such governance, environment protection, climate change mitigation and adaptation. In each of its thematic areas of work, UNDP at the request of its national partners provides relevant policy advisory support, technical assistance, advocacy, and knowledge to help Maldives achieve its global commitment on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). With Maldives’s transition to Middle Income Country Status, Official Development Assistance from traditional donor sources has been on the continuous decline. UNDP is therefore working with its national partners to identify and tap into alternative and innovative financing mechanisms for development. This process involves broadening outreach and forging wide-ranging partnerships with stakeholders – including other UN agencies, the government, the private sector, philanthropic Foundations, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors and International Finance Institutions to advance the country’s development strategies and objectives.
UNDP’s work in the area of Resilience and Climate Change (RCC) unit focuses on promoting sustainable management of the environment and increasing climate resilience through focused programming on climate change adaption and mitigation.
In 2021 under private sector engagements, Dhiraagu in partnership with the UNDP Maldives are implementing a project under the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: Climate Action entitled “Film for Change – Climate Edition”.
‘Film for Change’ is a programme that aims to empower young people to explore and form narratives on issues of climate change in Maldives through the medium of film. This will provide young people with the necessary technical and creative skills on producing documentary-style short films using mobile phones and tablets.
The activity consists of a training component and a post-production component with industry experts where trainees will produce 5 short films under the main theme in groups. The films will then be screened via social media and other public platforms to be followed by dialogue. Additionally, the films also have the potential of being showcased on platforms for youth advocacy on climate change at local, regional and global levels. UNDP is therefore seeking the services of a local consultant to conduct a training on making short films to a youth group based on the guidelines provided by UNDP.
