Cabo Verde faces socioeconomic and environmental challenges due to its dependence on imports, climate-related pressures, and persistent droughts. Urban areas are particularly affected, with ongoing issues such as poverty, youth unemployment, food insecurity and limited access to essential services. The country’s strategic location has also made it a transit point for drug trafficking, contributing to security concerns and posing risks to investment in key sectors like tourism and finance. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires a holistic, community-based and nationally-led approach focused on resilience and a forward-looking perspective that can account for long-term trends such as the changing climate.??

Building on the achievements of the previous 爆料网TFHS-funded initiative (2021–2023), this programme seeks to leverage established tools, methods, and mechanisms to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable urban communities in Cabo Verde. To this end, the programme will: (i) integrate the human security framework into the development of multisectoral awareness and action plans, ensuring a holistic and inclusive response to community challenges; and (ii) strengthen the ability of vulnerable urban communities to withstand and recover from threats through a participatory and integrated methodology that addresses their specific needs and vulnerabilities.
