Cape Verde

Cape Verde has prioritized infrastructure investment to support its service-oriented economy, particularly through upgrades to ports, airports, energy networks and transport links across the archipelago. While geographic isolation and high operational costs pose challenges, the country maintains relatively strong infrastructure standards compared with regional peers and continues to develop connectivity, renewable energy and ICT capacity to foster tourism, trade and economic diversification. Strengthening financing mechanisms - including public-private partnerships and innovative instruments - is key to bridging development finance gaps and sustaining growth.
