Cape Verde Moves to One-Stop Digital Government with GOV.CV Launch
Overall, the GOV.CV Portal is positioned as a cornerstone of Cape Verde’s digital governance agenda, aimed at strengthening trust in public institutions, improving the productivity of public administration, and making everyday interactions with the state easier and more efficient for citizens and businesses alike.
Cape Verde has launched the GOV.CV Portal, a unified digital platform designed to fundamentally transform how citizens and businesses interact with the state. Announced by Prime Minister José Ulisses Correia e Silva, the portal introduces a single digital entry point for public services, replacing the fragmented system of multiple, disconnected government platforms.
The new portal enables full interoperability across government systems, ensuring improved security, efficiency, and coordination among public institutions. By allowing state agencies to share existing information, citizens will no longer be required to move between offices to obtain documents already held by the government. This shift is expected to significantly reduce bureaucracy, accelerate service delivery, increase transparency, and allow users to track their applications and requests in real time.
The rollout of GOV.CV will be progressive, with digitally available public administration services gradually integrated into the platform. The government’s objective is to ultimately host all public services on the portal, streamlining workflows and ensuring a fully digitized administrative process. Payments will also be simplified, helping users save time and reduce transaction costs.
