Cabo Verde is transitioning from an economy based on investment in production factors to an economy based on efficiency, innovation and high productivity, which requires producing more with fewer resources. This transition is happening at a time when the country is facing challenges resulting from changes that are occurring in the world, as well as those resulting from the development dynamics that society has been experiencing in recent times.

Cabo Verde needs an educational system that is capable of producing creative and innovative entrepreneurs, in addition to engineers, scientists, technologists, planners, contract negotiation specialists, professionals with university degrees, and managers who express themselves fluently in English and who can be leaders in implementing the transformation agenda.

Cabo Verde has been making significant progress with regard to the transformation agenda. The Country is becoming a modern society with a strong physical and social infrastructure. Democracy continues to be strengthened. Freedoms are increasingly consolidated, as is the Rule of Law.

This is a critical cluster given the important of financing for the development of the other clusters and the important contributions it can make, as a key sector, in Cape Verde’s economy. This workshop will undertake a critical review of the finance cluster to examine the state of the cluster ten years after the transformation agenda.
