Government looking for consultancy services for Rasmalé master plan

Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development has announced that they are looking for an agency to provide consultancy services to create a Rasmalé master plan.

Interested parties are now invited to submit proposals in accordance with the Terms of Reference (TOR) prepared for the project.

According to the TOR, the Housing Ministry is seeking a master plan that ensures environmental sustainability, economic strength, social inclusion, and climate resilience.

Furthermore, the consultancy provider must supply a development framework suited to the island's conditions, incorporating renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure facilities.

Additionally, the plan must take into account the unique circumstances of the Maldives regarding climate vulnerability and include necessary measures for climate adaptation.

The Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development will act as the executing agency for this project on behalf of the Maldivian government.

As the executing agency, the ministry will carry out the responsibility of coordinating relevant matters with all stakeholders and beneficiaries throughout the entire duration of the project.

The Rasmalé project is an initiative being carried out by the government to provide a solution to the housing issue in the Maldives.

Under this project, the government has decided to reclaim 1,009 hectares of land from Fushidhiggaru Falhu and develop Rasmalé as the country's first "Eco-City."

The government highlights that upon completion, this project will significantly relieve the housing crisis in the Maldives and bring numerous economic benefits to the country.
