Accessibility of Public Buildings — Malé
👥 Focus group: Persons with disabilities
Workshop Objective
A working session on whether Malé's public buildings, walkways and transport meet the needs of people with mobility, vision and hearing disabilities — and what to fix first.
Targeted Outcome
Participants ranked tactile paving, ramped entrances and accessible toilets as the top three priorities. A follow-up audit of 12 ministry buildings was agreed, with results to be published openly.

Glad tactile paving made the top three — please make sure the audit covers the ferry terminals too, not just ministries.

Thank you for publishing the audit openly — that's the part that's always missing. Now please put a date next to each fix, or nothing actually changes.

Ramps are useless if cars park across them every morning. Enforcement has to be part of the plan, not just construction.

As someone with low vision, tactile paving at the ferry terminals would change my daily commute. Glad it was prioritised.
