The UN Secretary General, António Guterres, is committed to the most ambitious reform agenda ever, which is to provide a more coherent, cohesive, effective and efficient UN as the partner of choice for countries on their journey towards the SDGs.

This report marks the end of the last UNDAF cooperation cycle (2018-2022) and aims to present the main results of the implementation of the 2022 Joint Work Plan, through the presentation by the “Ps” Result Groups (People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships).

Fifteen United Nations agencies present in the country worked in strong partnership with the Government and more than a hundred of national institutions and organizations, and international partners, reflecting the priorities of sustainable development taking into account the priorities of the new National Development Plan (PEDS II), Cabo Verde’s 2030 Ambition and the SDGs.

During the UNDAF 2018-2022, the UN System mobilized USD 97,7 million, exceeding the initially forecast amount, in a highly unfavourable context, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the crises triggered by the war in Ukraine.

Cabo Verde and the United Nations once again demonstrated resilient capacities to mobilize partnerships and credible resources and implementation capabilities in favour of people and institutions, leaving no one behind.
