The project comprises of five components. The first component, wetlands conservation aims to establish a protected wetland management system to protect the wetlands and biodiversity in the Hithadhoo protected area (Eydhigali Kilhi and Koattey) of Hithadhoo island, and Bandaara Kilhi, and Dhandimagu Kilhi in Fuvahmulah island; support the development of ecotourism and other sustainable activities that can contribute to the socio-economic development of the local community; and establish a model for management of the protected wetland area. The second component, coral reef monitoring aims to strengthen the coral reef monitoring framework for improved decision making and management of coral reefs and related ecosystems. The third component, development of an island level integrated solid waste management system will help build the institutional capacity of Addu city and Gnaviyani atoll councils to plan an atoll and island level integrated solid waste management program to minimize the environmental risks to marine and terrestrial assets. The fourth component, mainstreaming climate change into island development planning aims to build awareness and strengthen local government capacity to address climate change adaptation issues relevant to island development and support tertiary level education in environmental management including climate change adaptation and mitigation. The fifth component, project management will support management functions for implementing the project, including support for staff, monitoring, equipment, operating costs, etc.
