Maldives

The Asia Foundation has been working in the Maldives since the early 1980s, when it was ranked among the world’s 20 poorest countries, and our work has reflected the changing needs of the multi-island nation. The Maldives spans 90,000 square kilometers, making equitable development a key challenge. With a diverse marine environment of 1,192 small tropical islands, high-end tourism drives economic growth.
