Description

This contract sits under the "Biodiversity Loss" strand of the Ocean Country Partnership Programme, which aims to:
• Increase understanding of the value of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in supporting sustainable livelihoods, food security, health and well-being;
• Increase understanding of MPA theory and practice, including evidence gathering, identification, selection, monitoring and assessment of MPAs;
• Increase support and compliance for MPAs with stakeholders; and
• Enhance capability and drive within countries to sustainably manage, monitor and assess conservation activities in the future.

Project Objectives

To meet the overall aims of this project (Section 2), the objectives are:
 Produce electronic resources to be dispersed across the Maldives Atolls online and via island councils. These resources should aim to improve the fundamental local understanding of MPAs, what they are, the types of MPAs in the Maldives, the social, economic and environmental benefits they bring and the threats they currently face.
 The resources produced must be translated into both English and Dhivehi to maximise accessibility and inclusivity across the Maldives.
 The ideal candidate to produce these resources will have experience in creating communication content for the Maldives, this experience will help us to tailor our products to the audience in the Maldives.
 The end result will be an engaging set of products aimed at reading ages of 6-9 that will provide basic information on what an MPA is, why they are important, how they benefit local communities and how they help to protect the marine environment from the threats they face.
 Ideally information on how local people can engage with MPAs and help the marine environment will be included.
