Accelerating Sustainable System Development Using Renewable Energy Project The Maldives has significant renewable energy resources, i.e., the potential to generate solar power, ocean energy and in some pockets, wind power. To improve energy security, the government has committed to increase the use of renewable energy and promote energy efficiency. In 2014, the government has initiated two major programs (i) Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development (POISED) supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to introduce solar photovoltaic battery-based hybrid systems in outer islands; and (ii) Accelerating Sustainable Private Investments in Renewable Energy supported by World Bank to mobilize private sector investments in solar photovoltaic in greater Male region.The POISED project was approved by ADB's Board of Directors on 29 September 2014 and is one of the largest renewable energy sector interventions in Maldives. The project finances the replacement of inefficient diesel-based power generation grids in 160 outer islands of Maldives and in Male with renewable-energy-ready grid systems, energy management systems, upgraded distribution grids including online monitoring and supervisory control systems. These interventions will contribute to reducing the cost of electricity, the subsidy burden on the government budget, and emissions, and will diversify the power generation mix. ADB also approved a second additional financing on 30 October 2020 to expand the POISED project. The POISED project has played a vital role in escalating the penetration of renewable energy and the project has installed more than 10.5 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity, 5.6 megawatt-hours of battery storage, and 11.6 MW of energy-efficient diesel generators and associated investments covering 70 outer islands across eight atolls. The implementation is in various stages for remaining 90 islands. The project also supported the preparation of renewable energy road map for the energy sector; initiating regulatory and net metering reforms; and improving the capacity of the Ministry of Environment (MOE), FENAKA, and STELCO focusing on renewable energy. The project also supports several gender initiatives such as (i) awareness campaigns on renewable energy covering island communities, women development councils, students, and government organizations; (ii) providing training and creating internship and employment opportunities for women in utilities; and (ii) developing gender inclusive renewable energy-based income generation activities through fisheries and other pilot interventions.

Inclusive Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprise Development Project The proposed project intends to develop and expand the micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) subsector leading to broad-based, private sector-led, and sustainable inclusive growth. MSME development was a part of the development strategy for Maldives under the 7th National Plan 2006-2010. MSMEDP will focus on enhancing the business environment and support infrastructure for doing business with better knowledge, greater access to financing, and expanded business opportunities for MSMEs. 
The proposed Inclusive MSME Development Project will promote economic and financial inclusion in the Maldives by enhancing economic activities including those in the remote islands through more opportunities and access to finance for MSMEs which will thereby contribute to private sector development and overall growth.
COVID-19: Responsive COVID-19 Vaccination for Recovery Project under the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility The project will provide Maldives with needed financing to sustain and upgrade its national coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination program, within its overall expanded program of immunization (EPI), through the project investment component (PIC) modality of the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The PIC grant will support investments for the storage, distribution, delivery, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, along with related investments in capacity building, which will help ensure the success of the government's COVID-19 vaccine booster program.

The project is aligned with five of the operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030: (i) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities; (ii) accelerating progress in gender equality; (iii) tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability; (iv) strengthening governance and institutional capacity; and (v) fostering regional cooperation and integration. It is consistent with ADB's country partnership strategy, 2020-2024 for Maldives, which prioritizes the strengthening of Maldives' health system.
Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development Project - Additional Financing ADB and the Government of Maldives are working together to transform the existing energy grids on the archipelago into a hybrid renewable energy system. The Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development Project is installing energy management and control systems; energy storage; and improvements in distribution networks, in order to significantly reduce the need for diesel to generate electricity. The work includes installing equipment for solar-diesel hybrid grids on about 160 islands. The project will replace inefficient diesel-based power generation grids on the islands with hybrid systems of both renewable energy and diesel in order to reduce the cost of electricity and the emissions created, as well as lower the subsidy burden on the government budget.
Strengthening Gender Inclusive Initiatives Project The Strengthening Gender Inclusive Initiatives Project aims to increase access to sustainable gender-responsive social services in Maldives by (i) improving gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) statistics; (ii) integrating gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) into government systems; (iii) strengthening the capacity of the social service system for aged care, early childcare, and domestic violence and gender-based violence (DV/GBV) services; (iv) establishing partnerships to support DV/GBV prevention, access to DV/GBV services, and aged care; and (v) constructing three climate-resilient shelters for DV/GBV survivors in Addu, Hulhumale, and Raa-Ungoofaaru. The project and attached TA will benefit women DV/GBV survivors and their dependent children and reduce the unpaid care burden on women caring for older family members and young children.
Strengthening Fiscal Management and Sustainability Program (Subprogram 1) A series of exogenous shocks severely affected public finance, poverty, and macroeconomy. Public expenditure increased drastically to support social protection scheme, but revenue mobilization decreased in line with the decline in tourist arrivals and a general economic downturn, leading to deterioration of fiscal and debt situation. The proposed program supports the government's structural reforms to strengthen fiscal consolidation focusing on domestic resource mobilization, and expenditure and debt management. It is aligned to the government's medium-term fiscal and debt management strategies, and the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) country partnership strategy for Maldives 2020-2024. It will contribute to the following operational priorities of Strategy 2030: (i) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequality; (ii) gender equality and women's empowerment; (iii) tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability; and (iv) strengthening governance and institutional capacity.

The Program will (i) strengthen the fiscal management institutions, (ii) enhance and diversify the revenue base of the economy, (iii) contain expenditure pressures on the budget while strengthening the functions of government, (iv) reduce government involvement in the economy, and (v) establish market-based instruments to improve treasury management.
MLD: EQUITY INVESTMENT AND LOAN TO THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FINANCE CORPORATION The project consists of a loan of up to $7.5 million to, and an equity investment of up to$4.5 million in the Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) located in the Maldives. HDFC is a specialized finance institution that was established to mobilize long-term financing for the provision of mortgage financing for affordable homes.
Kulhudhuffushi Harbor Expansion Project The project will construct a passenger and cargo harbor in Kulhudhuffushi Island, as an expansion to the existing multi-purpose harbor.   For the investment in the harbor infrastructure to be effective and sustainable, a TA will be provided and attached to the project to enhance the institutional capacity of the operator in harbor operation, maintenance, safety and financial management. The TA is also designed to help promote income-generating livelihood opportunities for local communities in the region.
Private Sector Development Project (PSDP) The intended impact of the Project is a developed and expanded micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) subsector leading to broad-based, private sector-led, and sustainable inclusive growth. The intended outcomes are (i) enhanced access to finance by MSMEs by providing Bank of Maldives (BML) with a line of credit facility (LCF) to pilot credit assistance to MSMEs in designated regions, (ii) enhanced access to markets, technology and information and strengthened capacity of MSMEs through the establishment of business development services centers (BDSC) and a cost-sharing facility (CSF) designed to meet their special needs, and (iii) improved support infrastructure through PPPs.
SECURED LOAN REPUBLIC OF THE MALDIVES: SOUTH ASIAN SME LEASING FACILITY The proposed ADB assistance is expected to strengthen the leasing industry further and expand the funding resources and financial services available to the SME sector in the two countries. The activity of leasing companies in Sri Lanka and the Maldives is constrained by the need to borrow at short maturity to fund a business that lends at a longer maturity. The underdeveloped nature of corporate debt markets in both countries has made nonbank leasing firms heavily dependent on commercial banks for their funding through short-term borrowings and commercial paper. This has resulted in maturity mismatches in assets and liabilities and higher costs of funds for these institutions.

The proposed loans from ADB to the two companies will provide them access to long- term funds and thereby enable them to promote alternative financing instruments to SME entrepreneurs, promote their operations and profitability, and enhance their competitiveness.
COVID-19: Emergency Response On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus in the same family that caused the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in 2003 and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in 2012. Epidemiological evidence shows that COVID-19 can be transmitted from one individual to another, likely through droplets, personal contact, and contaminated objects. On 11 March 2020, WHO characterized the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. As of 21 March 2020, WHO estimated that more than 266,073 have been infected and over 11,184 deaths have been recorded in 156 countries. 

In Maldives, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) reported its first case of COVID-19 on 7 March 2020. As of 19 March 2020, the number of confirmed cases has reached 13 from resort islands and safari vessels,  with five patients being hospitalized. Eighty-two persons are in quarantine facilities, 15 in isolation and still under investigation. A State of Public Health Emergency was declared by the Minister of Health for a period of 30 days from 12 March 2020. The National Emergency Operation Centre has been set up as defined in the National Health Emergency Operation Plan and standard operating procedures have been activated with the declaration of public health emergency in the country. A number of response measures are in place including border controls, social distancing, closure of schools and educational establishments, contact screening, the deployment of a rapid response team for risk assessment of the confirmed case settings, quarantine of high-risk cases, and isolation of suspected cases. While the state of emergency imposes measures to strengthen containment of the disease, there is no restriction for tourists to enter the country, in general, except for countries identified by the government of Maldives for temporary suspension of travelers. This increases the risk of imported cases and the spread of the disease across the islands. For the procurement of emergency medical goods and supplies and other initial support required for dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak. The procurement of goods and supplies will be coordinated with other technical agencies (such as United Nations agencies) to avoid duplication of supply.
