https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/tackling-multidimensional-poverty-in-cabo-verde Cabo Verde's journey towards poverty reduction has been nothing short of impressive, with monetary poverty rates falling substantially since the early 2000s. The national poverty headcount fell from 56.8 percent in 2001 to 35.2 percent in 2015. This successful trend is expected to continue, with poverty projected to have reached 28.1 percent in 2022, after temporarily increasing to 31.3 percent in 2020 because of the pandemic.
