UN Maldives Communications Strategy 2022 - 2026

The UN has bottlenecks and challenges in communication that we need to improve, ranging from use of complex language to insufficient outreach in the outer islands and atolls. When we held discussions with our partners and the people of Maldives in developing the new UNSDCF, some of the common impressions were that we only communicate to the government in Male, and international partners, rather than men, women and children across the country. This Communications Strategy will focus on the local audience, and will reset our communications in a way that we:

1. Reach all Maldivians - in the appropriate language for them

2. Engage all Maldivians - with relatable content and using lively communications tools

3. Persuade all Maldivians - to take and advocate for necessary actions for the SDGs
