Abstract
In the 21st century, poverty still remains a serious issue for the world, halting development and
growth of nations. SDG 1 refers to the first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) established by
United nations. It has as goal to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere”. Cape Verde as an UN
member also adopted it and aligned national policies to achieve it. This thesis aimed to analyze
the different policies adopted by the government of Cape Verde to implement SDG 1. Moreover,
this dissertation will also point out the different actors behind the implementation of SGD 1 in
Cabo Verde (both national and international actors), as well as find out their role in alleviating
poverty in Cabo Verde, in other words, how they contribute to poverty alleviation in Cabo Verde.
Based on a qualitative methodology, using document analysis as method to collect the data and
further using thematic analysis to analyze, code and categorize the collected data, the study was
able to answer the two research questions:
Research question 1: What are the different policies adopted by the government of Cape
Verde to implement SDG 1.
Research question 2: Who and what are the roles of the actors involved in the
implementation of SDG 1 in Cape Verde?

government institutions and National and International Partners. On one hand, the government of
Cape Verde is focused on creating and adopting polices that target the poor, as result this make
sure that they can lift from poverty or at least avoid they sinking into deeper poverty. On the
other hand, the partners (here known as Actors) helping on the implementation of SDG 1 in Cape
Verde work as a backup for the government, helping it on other issues related to SDG 1
implementation such as knowledge and capital provision and so on. The Cape Verde government
is dedicated to reducing poverty, focusing on the unemployment and migration phenomenon.
These factors contribute to poverty and exacerbate it. Despite these challenges, the overall
outlook on poverty reduction in Cape Verde is optimistic, indicating a significant commitment to
address the root causes of poverty
