Cape Verde ranks above average in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) compared to other African nations, particularly in poverty reduction, education, and health. However, Gualberto do Rosario asserts that comparisons to mainland countries may not be entirely relevant due to Cape Verde's unique settlement history. The islands have faced persistent challenges such as drought, which shaped their development. Over the past fifty years, notable improvements have been made in education and healthcare, though both do Rosario and Antonio da Silva emphasize the importance of continuing efforts toward further advancement.
Cape Verde has scored well on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with figures above average compared to African nations. This shows notable progress in areas like poverty reduction, education, and health.
Despite high rankings, Gualberto do Rosario emphasizes that comparisons with mainland African countries are partly meaningful, owing to Cape Verde’s unique geography and history shaped by European and African immigration.
Antonio da Silva highlights that in 1975, Cape Verde faced immense poverty, a reality that is now difficult to comprehend due to significant advancements over the past decades in education and healthcare.
Both do Rosario and da Silva agree on the importance of continuing to address challenges within the country, stressing that while Cape Verde has progressed, there is still much work to be done.
