180 Section 10. Case 27: The Case Studies Maldives (synoptic case) Maldives is threatened by multiple hazards including sea-level rise, beach erosion, storm surge and cyclones. More than 120,000 children, 30 % of the population of Maldives, are at increasing risk. With its 1.4 meter high waves, the December 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami had a catastrophic impact on the low-lying coral islands. Schooling was disrupted for 18 months (Das, 2010). Following the 2004 Tsunami, the government of Maldives set up the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) to strengthen the national capacity for natural disaster preparedness as well as Tsunami reconstruction and rehabilitation. The existing primary and secondary school curricula at that time did not include information on disaster and risk management strategies and children were not aware of risks around them (UNDP, undated, a). The Ministry of Education and UNDP began addressing DRR in schools, first, developing a school disaster preparedness manual and offering a pilot training of trainers on school based disaster preparedness planning in 2007 (UNDP, undated, a). In 2009, the Education Development Centre for the Ministry of Education supported by UNDP began an eight-month project on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into the primary and secondary curriculum. The main objective of the initiative was ‘to minimize the impact of disasters through the dissemination of information’ (Ibid). Although the initial intention of the project was to pilot the project in six schools (four in the capital Male and two on Fuvahmulah island), due to the level of enthusiasm and interest among school communities, the number of pilot schools was increased to 19. Phase one of the project offered capacity building training on DRR to Ministry of Education staff, heads of school, school supervisors, and selected teachers from pilot schools. They were offered opportunities for both in-country and international training on DRR. The Philippines Centre for Disaster Management in partnership with the Ministry of Education offered the international training. Those trained then provided training in both pilot and non-pilot schools, thus reaching out to 473 teachers and 800 students from the 19 pilot schools 115 . It is important to note that phase one of the project involved parents, atoll chiefs, community leaders and other stakeholders in some of the DRR training session. ‘Since the concept of DRR is new in the country, this holistic approach was used to ensure that a solid foundation is laid toward embracing the program and its sustainability 116 ’. 115 http://www.undp.org/comtoolkit/success-stories/ASIA-Maldives-crisisprev. shtml 116 Ibid.
