Land Ownership and Management

Land use patterns on the inhabited islands of the Maldives are mapped by the respective Island Committees. Some areas are designated for agricultural production, while others are demarcated for the production of timber or fuel wood (Figure 4 illustrates land use patterns on the Island of Kela). Land ownership in the Maldives can be dived into three categories: house plots owned by individuals; community land; and government land. With the exception of house plots and community land, all land in the Maldives is the property of the government. Land-based activities are shared equally among men and women as illustrated below in Table 4.1.

topPolitics in Maldives

The current president, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, has been in office for all but 10 years of the period since Maldives became a Republic in 1968, making him the longest serving political leader in Asia. Although generally considered a liberal and moderate voice on the Maldivian political scene, Gayoom has in recent years been heavily criticised for his autocratic rule. He survived an assassination attempt in January 2008. Seeking to challenge the autocracy of Gayoom, the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) was formed by a group of activists in 2001. It established itself in exile in Sri Lanka, bringing international attention to democratic shortcomings of the Gayoom regime. Political parties were not allowed and candidates for the Majlis (parliament) stood as independents. The 50 members of the Majlis elected the president who was then approved in a public vote in which no other candidates stood. By powers of appointment the president had effective control over the cabinet, judiciary, the civil service and local government. This feudal political apparatus looked increasingly out of place in the 21st century. In response to national and international criticism, a constituent assembly was established in 2004. In June 2005, parliament unanimously voted in favour of introducing multi-party democracy in the Maldives and four political parties have registered; the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), Justice Party (Adaalath Party - AP), Islamic Democratic Party (IDP) and the Maldivian People’s Party (Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party - DRP) which is headed by the current president. As part of the constitutional review, a 2007 referendum was held to determine whether a presidential or parliamentary model should be adopted. Over 70% of the voters supported Gayoom’s recommendation for the presidential route but the powers of office will be reduced and the incumbent limited to two terms. An election must be held in October 2008 along conventional lines – apart from Gayoom himself for the DRP, the other parties have announced their candidates including Mohammad Nasheed for the MDP, democratically selected through a “primary” process. Parliamentary elections are due to follow in March 2009. Despite factionalism amongst its members, by April 2008 the constituent assembly finally produced a revised constitution which now awaits the ratification of the president. There is concern that the delay allows too little time to pass legislation governing the new electoral process. Maldives has an active civil society. All islands are, by law, required to have an Island Development Committee and a Women's Development Committee. Although these committees work with varying degree of success, they are an important link between the government and local island communities. The two largest NGOs in the country, SHE and Fashan, are mainly concerned with Health Education
