The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has released the findings of its latest social audit, conducted in HA. Hoarafushi and SH. Funadhoo, to mark International Anti-Corruption Day 2025. The audit assessed two major PSIP projects: the construction of the Hoarafushi Hospital and 15 classrooms at Funadhoo School, carried out with support from the European Union and UNDP under the Accountability and Integrity Matters Project.

The report highlights significant issues in both projects, including delays, limited institutional coordination, and gaps in transparency. Stakeholders also reported limited access to project information and unclear channels for raising concerns or complaints.

It was also noticed that coordination among ministries, councils, schools, and contractors is essential for effective oversight. The report also emphasized the need for proactive information disclosure, stronger monitoring mechanisms, and mandatory verification of technical and safety standards.

The ACC noted that social audits remain an important tool for promoting transparency and public participation in development projects. Furthermore, it reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening accountability and ensuring responsible management of public resources. The social audit report is published on the commission's website.
