The government has pledged 1,000 flats to civil servants out of the 7,000 flats to be built in a social housing scheme in Hulhumalé.
Housing ministry spokesman Ahmed Fazal said the flats would be reserved for those working in the Greater Malé region. There are around 24,000 civil servants in the Maldives with the majority working in the capital.
The civil servants will be divided into three categories: managerial and technical level staff, support level staff and administrative staff.
While 400 flats will be given to support level staff, the remaining categories will each receive 300. The more employees a government ministry or department has, the greater the allocation.
