Resolution No. 11/2025 approving emergency and urgent implementation measures, as well as the respective funding, aimed at increasing the production of drinking water, improving the efficiency of its distribution and the functioning of sewage networks, as well as reducing the risks of serious breakdowns in the systems, in Praia and other municipalities on the island of Santiago.

This Resolution approves emergency and urgently-implemented measures, as well as the corresponding funding, aimed at increasing the production of drinking water, improving the efficiency of its distribution and the functioning of sewage networks, as well as reducing the risk of breakdowns in the systems, in the municipalities of São Vicente and Sal. Despite the scarcity of fresh water sources, which is due to the geomorphological and climatic characteristics of the islands, Cape Verde has made a very positive progress in mobilizing and distributing water to the population and economic activities, thanks to the leadership of the authorities and the strong commitment of the population and cooperation partners. These measures consist specifically of: a) Reinforcing the general maintenance of desalination plants; b) Increased mechanical maintenance of desalination plants; and c) Increased electrical maintenance of desalination plants.
