Strengthening the rule of law and anti-corruption in the Maldives The proposed Action comes under the 2nd priority of the Multiannual Indicative Framework (MIP) 2021-2027 for the Maldives (¿Good Governance, Rule of Law and Security¿ ¿ DAC code 151). It is in line with the overall EU Good Governance agenda, EU development policy frameworks as well as EU geostrategic and economic interests as enshrined in the EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. It will also contribute in particular to the achievement of SDG 16 (¿Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions¿) and SDG 5 (¿Gender Equality¿) in the Maldives.While there is only limited development cooperation by EU Members States in the Maldives, efforts will be made to coordinate whenever there is an opportunity. The main objective of this Action is to strengthen the rule of law and to reduce corruption in the Maldives, through; (1) supporting the country in developing an effective, accountable and inclusive justice system, and; (2) strenghtening anti-corruption efforts through better legal framework, institutional capacity and public perception. It will focus on a limited number of interconnected problems which impede inclusive and efficient access to justice and constrain anti-corruption efforts, taking into account what other key development partners are doing in these sectors to avoid duplication and maximize synergies. It will focus on the needs and constraints of both the duty bearers (¿supply-side¿) and right holders (¿demand side¿). Particular attention will be devoted to adequate legal reforms and institutional strengthening, digitalisation of the sector as well as ensuring a fair and effective access to justice for the most vulnerable categories of the population (including women and children vicitms of domestic/gender-based violence). Close attention will be paid to the role of and possible partnerships with civil society.
