Synopsis (short abstract) Cabo Verde and FAO have partnered since 1976, when early interventions were focused on emergency agricultural assistance. Since then, there has been a shift towards longer‑term development interventions, with a greater concentration on food and nutrition security, agricultural productivity and value chain development and food safety. Over the past two years, FAO has supported more than 40 diverse projects, including emergency assistance.

Evaluation of FAO’s contribution to Cabo Verde 2018–2022 2023

Also available in:

No results found.

This evaluation reviews the FAO country programme in Cabo Verde over the 2018–2022 timeframe. FAO remains a reference institution for rural development and the country's maritime economy, particularly appreciated for its inclusive approach and outreach. FAO’s technical role is jeopardized by the limited critical mass of technical experts available in the country. FAO has significantly assisted the country in institutional strengthening (Right to Adequate Food law, SDG indicator 2.1.2, food security) however, critical issues remain regarding food and nutrition security (FNS) governance. FAO played a crucial role in the design and initial implementation of the overall strategic, programmatic and institutional framework of the blue economy. There are, nonetheless, concerns regarding the institutional uptake and consolidation by national partners of the obtained results. A more incisive contribution to the sector of small/artisanal fishery and a comprehensive capacity development programme is needed to address the blue economy challenges.

2024

The Republic of Korea funded FAO's project OSRO/CVI/054/ROK entitled “Safeguarding food security and livelihoods of the most vulnerable populations in Cabo Verde” for USD 100 000. The project was implemented from 19 May 2023 to 31 December 2023. The project's objective was to safeguard the food security and livelihoods of the most vulnerable people on the islands of Santo Antão and Santiago. FAO distributed 615 food baskets to 615 food-insecure households, 87 percent of which were headed by women. To achieve this, 51 households, including 38 small-scale producers and 13 operators of agricultural warehouses, provided fresh produce to increase food basket nutritional value and boost local supply networks. Households were able to cover their food needs for two months, enabling them to consume three meals a day.

Statistical Capacity Country Profile for SDG Indicators (Cabo Verde)
Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG Indicators 2018/19

The Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS) conducted the Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG indicators in early 2019 to provide insights about member countries' national statistical systems in regard to their capacity to monitor and report the 21 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship. The survey collected information on the national coordination mechanisms for the SDG reporting, current data availability and plans for filling data gaps, and needs for technical assistance. The respondents were mainly the National Coordinators for SDG Monitoring or the SDG focal points nominated by the Directors General of National Statistics Offices. The results will assist FAO-HQ and decentralized offices in designing targeted interventions and mobilizing resources to support countries in collecting, analyzing and using the SDG indicators in decision-making.
