Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On November 13th, 2016, the Chinese Embassy to the Maldives donated MVR 7 million (approximately $454,000 USD) for the Malé Redevelopment Project. The funds were intended to be used to develop 7 pedestrian-only alleyways in Malé with benches, plants, and sports facilities, in addition to a children’s park with playgrounds and a semi-circle terrazzo floor with lighting in the capital’s suburb Vilimalé. The beautification of the capital city in the project was expected to benefit both residents and tourists, according to the Maldives Independent. The Maldives Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure's Public Works Services Department was to implement the project, and by November 2016 it had already acquired all materials necessary and was set to begin. The project was expected to be complete by May 2017.
