Cape Verde: Protecting the environment to fight poverty

Panafrican News Agency (PANA),
4. October 2001

Praia - Cape Verde is reviewing its poverty reduction strategy with the aim of integrating desertification control and biodiversity preservation as essential components of the national plan, a government source said.

An international expert is to undertake a study with the inter-state committee for the control of drought in the Sahel (CILSS) that would support the process.

Many actions have been initiated since January this year in order to accelerate the process, particularly at political level.

The government has set aside four million dollars in its 2001 development budget for the preservation and protection of soils, water sources and reforestation.

Legislation has also been strengthened and elaborated in order to protect natural resources.

"The basic law on environmental protection lays emphasis on the people's involvement", the same source said.
