At the half-way point of the implementation of the 2011-2015 Indicative Cooperation Programme, in 2013 the Cabo Verde and Luxembourg governments commissioned the mid-term review of this third ICP. Following a field mission in September, the presentation of the evaluation took place at the end of October 2013 in Praia. The evaluation showed generally positive results but the evaluators also made recommendations to be taken into account in identifying the next ICP, which will start in 2016. Given the anticipated elections in Luxembourg, the annual partnership committee between the two governments, initially scheduled for October 2013, was postponed to the beginning of 2014.
