As part of the on-going SWITCH Asia project on Prevention of Marine Litter in the Lakshadweep Sea (PROMISE) financed by the European Union, the Maldives National University (MNU) is seeking to employ a Project Manager to support the implementation of the project.
The PROMISE project seeks to promote source-to-sea solutions to reduce marine littering in tourism clusters along the Lakshadweep shorelines of the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India. It focuses explicitly on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) in and contributing to the tourism sector to support them in waste minimization, thus enhancing the attractiveness of tourism industries, avoiding further deterioration of marine ecosystems and improving people's living conditions.
The project is implemented in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India. The project consortium is led by MNU and in collaboration with Parley Maldives, the National Cleaner Production Centre Sri Lanka, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) India, Stenum Asia and Adelphi Research. For more information about the project, please refer to the following project website: https://www.switch-asia.eu/project/promise/
Project Objectives
The overall objective of the PROMISE project is to contribute to the prevention and leakage of wastes from land-based sources into the Lakshadweep Sea in line with Sip-sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP), thus enhancing the attractiveness of tourism industries, avoiding further deterioration of marine ecosystems and improving living conditions in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India. More specifically, the action seeks to promote regionally integrated source-to-sea solutions to reduce marine littering in tourism clusters along the Lakshadweep shorelines of the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India. The Project Manager will support the successful implementation of the project in order to meet these objectives.
