| E-Government in CAPE VERDE: A success story |
 As outlined in the Information Society Strategic Program, electronic government is one of the pillars of the development of the Information Society in Cape Verde. The transformation of Cape Verde implies winning the battle of competitiveness and the modernization of the economy and the society. The Communication and Information Technologies (ICT’s) are a factor of Cape Verde’s active insertion in the global economy, helping to breakdown the barriers of our island condition so that the country may be tuned with the world, accompanying the major changes, and participate in the evolution of know-how and knowledge, be close to the centers of decision-making, detect opportunities and put them to the service of Cape Verde’s own development.
The government’s bet on electronic governance is an imperative to improve the efficiency of the State, public administration, both central and local, thus strengthening the Rule of Law, since the information technologies help to promote transparency, accountability and democracy.
A recent case study “Small States, Smart Solutions” just released by the World Bank during the Spring Meetings shows how Cape Verde has managed to overcome, through information and communication technologies, the handicaps of it size and isolation and reduce the costs and increase the effectiveness of public goods and services, and how to reduce the costs of connectivity with the rest of the world.

| Fitch affirms Cabo Verde's B+ Rating |
 London, November 8 2005- Fitch Ratings, the international rating agency, has today affirmed the Long-term foreign currency rating of Cape Verde at ‘B+’. The Long-term local currency rating is also affirmed, at ‘BB-’. The Outlook on both ratings is Stable, and the country ceiling is affirmed at ‘B+’.
The “B+” long term foreign currency rating of Cape Verde is underpinned by the progress achieved by the country in reforming its economy, reducing its fiscal imbalances and its public external debt, and replenishing its international reserves. It is also supported by the political stability of the country, which is key in attracting large FDI inflows and developing a flourishing tourism industry. The ratings, however, also take into account Cape Verde‘s structurally large current account deficit and its relatively high level of external indebtedness.

| Worldwide Press Freedom Index 2005 |
 Reporters Without Borders compiled this Index of 167 countries by asking its partner organizations (14 freedom of expression groups from around the world) and its network of 130 correspondents, as well as journalists, researchers, legal experts and human rights activists, to answer 50 questions designed to assess a country’s level of press freedom.
The Index contradicts the frequent argument by leaders of poor and repressive countries that economic development is a vital precondition for democracy and respect for human rights. The top of the Index is heavily dominated by rich countries, but several very poor ones are among the top 60, such as Benin (25th), Namibia (25th), Cape Verde (29th), South Africa (31th), Mauritius (34th), Mali (37th), Bolivia (45th), Mozambique (49th), Mongolia (53rd), Niger (57th) and East Timor (58th).and rank better than some developed countries: France (30th), Australia (31th), USA (44th), Brazil (63th)
