Cape Verde accelerates its digital economy through a World Bank-funded program targeting government modernization and competitive growth. The initiative establishes ambitious benchmarks for online service delivery, aiming for 60 percent coverage by 2026 and 80 percent by 2030. World Bank representatives conducted a support mission to coordinate implementation plans with national institutions. The collaboration focuses on aligning priorities for the project's next operational phase.
Digital Economy Minister Olavo Correia participated in discussions with World Bank officials, and Education Minister Amadeu Cruz and Digital Economy Secretary Pedro Lopes joined the meetings. The program extends support to micro and small enterprises, particularly young business owners from Cape Verde and its diaspora. Digital platforms will enable these entrepreneurs to access domestic and sub-regional markets. Officials reinforced the government's dedication to fostering innovation and building robust digital infrastructure.
