Participation in this program provides a stimulating academic environment, access to cutting-edge data, and the opportunity to work under the supervision of internationally renowned researchers.
The UNU-WIDER initiative is fundamental to boosting research capacity in developing countries, promoting a greater diversity of perspectives and approaches in discussions about development challenges. For Cape Verdean researchers, this grant offers the ideal bridge to connect the realities and specific challenges of the archipelago with the global landscape of economic development research. Imagine the impact that local researchers could have by exploring, for example, the dynamics of economic development in small island economies, the sustainability of tourism in a context of climate change, or the most effective economic diversification policies for emerging economies like Cape Verde.

Fellows have the opportunity to publish their findings in top academic journals, present their work at international conferences, and establish valuable networks with other researchers and policymakers. This interaction is vital for building a robust research ecosystem in Cape Verde, fostering collaboration and knowledge transfer. We are confident that an investment in this fellowship will result not only in the advancement of the individual careers of the recipients but also in the generation of applicable and relevant knowledge for the pursuit of Cape Verde's sustainable development.
