Cape Verde is different in that it does not have a national code governing the procurement of goods/equipment or the performance of work, other than the use of consultants' services; it merely has arrangements set forth in decrees that govern procurement in specific sectors.

This Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR) includes two volumes, the executive summary -- consisting of conclusions regarding the five pillars of the CPAR, and the analytical report -- which includes in-depth analysis of the five pillars.
