We’ve taken a significant step toward building a more sustainable and community-driven future for Noonu Atoll. The Noonu Atoll Council has officially partnered with Land Sea Maldives to launch the “Reimagine Noonu Binaaveshi” project—a bold initiative focused on rethinking how we use our land, manage our resources, and empower our communities.

This project is more than just a plan it’s a shared vision. By combining local governance, modern technology, and expert insight, we’re addressing the challenges that matter most to our people.

A Vision Rooted in Sustainability and Inclusion

At the heart of this initiative is a commitment to resilience, equity, and sustainability. We’re working to close the gaps in resource distribution, promote decentralized development, and create space for community-led solutions. Through collaboration and innovation, we aim to strike a balance between protecting our environment and advancing our economy.

Transparency and inclusivity will guide every step. As the local authority, we will lead the project to ensure it reflects the priorities of our residents. Land Sea Maldives will support us with technical expertise and logistical coordination.

What We’re Delivering

The “Reimagine Noonu Binaaveshi” project will deliver a comprehensive Atoll Land Use Plan (LUP) — a strategic blueprint for future development. We’ll also conduct in-depth community needs assessments to ensure that local voices shape the direction we take.

We’re introducing new frameworks to build climate resilience and protect our unique ecological and cultural heritage. Community-led forums will give residents a direct role in decision-making, and digital tools will help us plan and govern more effectively and transparently.

Moving Forward Together

This agreement marks the beginning of a long-term journey. Together with our partners, we’re committed to making “Reimagine Noonu Binaaveshi” a model for equitable and sustainable development.
