The workshop on infrastructure services will be strategic in nature and focus on policymaking. Participants in the workshop will make a strategic assessment of the context and situation of infrastructure services in Cabo Verde and explore the challenges and opportunities, in order to advance an agenda and a policy package, to contribute significantly to attract funding from the private sector, improve infrastructure management, and reduce infrastructure service costs. More specifically, the workshop will examine and answer the following questions:
What is the impact of the infrastructure program on developing the following sectors: tourism; rural development; territory unification and inter-island transportation; access to essential goods?
How can we better select priority infrastructure to undertake?
How do we improve infrastructure management to ensure greater service quality and efficiency?
What lessons can we take from the infrastructure development process in the last decade (establishment of PPP, the funding system, etc.)?
Which specific critical areas should be prioritized for reform and what should be the aim and focus in each area?
What should be done to attract private sector investment and its participation in infrastructure services?
