MyCouncil

MyCouncil brings your island council in the Maldives to your phone. It is an independent app made by PICAD PVT LTD. It is not an official app of the Government of the Maldives, the Local Government Authority or any council, and it does not represent any government entity. Everything it shows is published by the councils themselves or comes from the named sources listed under WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES FROM below.

YOUR COUNCIL, IN ONE APP
Choose a council that has joined MyCouncil and everything it publishes is in your pocket:
• Services: every council service, with its fee, what you need, and the form itself.
• Apply your way: sign in with eFaas to apply online and follow your application, or fill in the form on your phone and email it to the council as a PDF with your documents attached.
• Notices, tenders and jobs: council announcements, procurement notices and vacancies, with deadlines.
• Ferry times published by the council.
• Notifications: updates on your applications and new council notices, if you want them.

EVERY ISLAND IN THE MALDIVES
• Follow any council, even one that hasn't joined MyCouncil, and see its notices from the Government Gazette.
• Deadline reminders: a reminder before a tender or job closes, or add it to your calendar.
• Island facts, a short description of each island, and a directory of businesses registered there.
• Councils that haven't joined are clearly marked, and you can ask them to join.

WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES FROM
Every piece of information in MyCouncil comes from one of these sources, and the app names the source on screen:
• Services, forms, fees, notices, tenders, jobs and ferry times of councils that have joined MyCouncil: entered and published by that council's own staff through the MyCouncil council portal. Each council is responsible for what it publishes.
• Notices, tenders and jobs of every other council: the Government Gazette of the Maldives, https://www.gazette.gov.mv. The Gazette remains the official record.
• Council phone numbers, email and postal addresses: the Local Government Authority's council directory, https://www.lga.gov.mv/en/councils, and the letterheads of each council's own Gazette notices.
• Island population: Maldives Bureau of Statistics, Census 2022, https://statisticsmaldives.gov.mv.
• Island maps and land area: OpenStreetMap, https://www.openstreetmap.org (© OpenStreetMap contributors).
• Emergency hotlines: the Maldives national emergency numbers (Police 119, Ambulance 102, Fire and Rescue 118, Coast Guard 191) and the council's own phone number.
• Island descriptions: Wikipedia, https://www.wikipedia.org, and the Government of the Maldives' atoll pages at https://www.atollsofmaldives.gov.mv.
• Businesses on each island: the council's own list, pulled by council staff from the Business Register of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, https://business.egov.mv, and kept up to date by the council. For councils not yet on MyCouncil, that register's public records via the Ibifili directory.
• Sign-in: eFaas, the Maldives national digital identity, https://efaas.egov.mv, on eFaas's own pages. MyCouncil never sees your eFaas password.
