Following legislative and presidential elections in 2011, democratic municipal elections took place on 1 July 2012 in an atmosphere of general calm. These elections reinforced the effect of the national coalition on a local level: in 2012, the country had to adapt to this new situation of governance. At the same time, Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation is pursuing the implementation of its 3rd ICP 2011-2015. One of the outstanding events of the year was the inauguration of three vocational training centres in Sal, Praia and Santo Antão. The 18th Partnership Commission in October brought together Cape Verdean and Luxembourgish political decision-makers in Luxembourg for a political dialogue, an update on the joint programmes, and to lay the groundwork for the mid-term review of the ICP, scheduled for 2013.
