The SAIS Programme for Livestock Investment Preparation 2027 represents a strategic opportunity to boost the livestock sector in Cape Verde, promoting the modernisation of agricultural and livestock holdings and strengthening food security across the archipelago. Aimed at producers, cooperatives and entrepreneurs in the rural sector, the programme seeks to develop viable and sustainable investment projects that are aligned with national development priorities.

Programme objectives

The main objective is to enable candidates to turn business ideas into concrete investment plans, with specialist technical support. The focus is on improving cattle, goat, sheep and poultry production, as well as the efficient management of pasture, water and feed, taking into account the specific climatic conditions of Cape Verde.

Who Can Apply

Applications are open to individuals and organisations legally established in Cape Verde that are active in the livestock sector. Priority will be given to young farmers, rural women and associations that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable practices and technological innovation.

Support Provided

Those selected receive personalised mentoring, training in drawing up business plans, access to networks and support in preparing applications for funding. The programme does not provide direct funding, but prepares the projects for investors and financial institutions.

Importance for Cape Verde

Against a backdrop of water scarcity and dependence on food imports, investing in local livestock farming is essential to reducing vulnerabilities and creating jobs on the islands. The SAIS Programme contributes to a more resilient and competitive value chain.

Deadline and How to Apply

The deadline for submitting applications is 15 November 2026. Those interested should access the online form and submit all the required documentation before that date.
