The Mapping study seeks to analyse the inherent dynamics of Cabo Verdean civil society in order to contribute to a relevant and participatory EU Action Plan/Roadmap, aiming at greater EU engagement with civil society organisations.

This Mapping study was prepared and funded under the Thematic Programme for Civil Society Organisations and Local Authorities and is part of the EU effort to gain a current overview of civil society in order to develop specific actions under an EU Action Plan (Roadmap) for the period 2020-2025 that promotes greater engagement with civil society actors.

The Roadmap aims to enable and ensure a structured dialogue and strategic cooperation with the civil society, thus enhancing the consistency and impact of EU action.

In Cabo Verde, the civil society Mapping exercise is the first to be carried out and responds to the concern and recommendation of the 2014-2017 Roadmap.
