The Ministry of Social and Family Development has opened applications for the use of the “Shaamil Logo,” a national mark aimed at identifying and promoting authentic products created by persons with disabilities.

According to the ministry, the initiative is being implemented in collaboration with the Business Center Corporation (BCC) to strengthen the market presence of such products and support small businesses operated by persons with disabilities. The logo is intended to establish a distinct brand identity in the Maldives that reflects the talent, productivity and contributions of persons with disabilities.

The ministry stated that the Shaamil Logo will serve as a national symbol to boost visibility and recognition of products made within the community, while also helping to increase public awareness and demand. It is expected that the initiative will provide a dedicated platform for marketing these products and contribute to business growth and long-term empowerment.

To qualify for the logo, products must meet the criteria for an “authentic creation.” This includes a requirement that at least 30 percent of the materials or components used in production are sourced or available within the Maldives.

Application forms are available through the BCC website. Completed forms can be submitted via email to shamil@bcc.mv or delivered in person to the BCC office.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development described the initiative as a step towards building a more inclusive economy, enabling persons with disabilities to expand their businesses and participate more fully in economic activities.
